> For the complete documentation index, see [llms.txt](https://docs.census.de/llms.txt). Markdown versions of documentation pages are available by appending `.md` to page URLs; this page is available as [Markdown](https://docs.census.de/using-census-data/data-in-the-census-records/postclassical-work-records/texts-transcriptions.md). # Texts / Transcriptions If the accessed Postclassical Work contains written notes, page numbering, inscriptions, or more extensive sections of text, these texts are transcribed in the **Texts / Transcriptions** section. The **Transcription** field contains the transcription of the written element of the postclassical work. In the field **Type of Text** the type of this textual element is described (e.g., foliation, measurement, identification, description, etc.). The field **Position** indicates the position within the work (e.g., 'top left corner' or 'at the right margin'). In the field **URL,** an internet source for the transcription is given, if available. In **Comments,** you will find notes from Census editors, which can refer to any part of the transcription and which, for example, offer additions or more detailed explanations. The comment itself appears in the **Comment** field. The **Earliest Date of Comment** and **Latest Date of Comment** fields are used to indicate when the comment or note was written. In the field **Author of Comment**, the name of the person who wrote the comment is given. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.census.de/using-census-data/data-in-the-census-records/postclassical-work-records/texts-transcriptions.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
