## Abstract (arXiv)

We aim to theorize the medieval manuscript page and its contents more holistically, using state-of-the-art techniques to segment and describe the entire manuscript folio, for the purpose of creating richer training data for computer vision techniques, namely instance segmentation, and multimodal models for medieval-specific visual content.
