This paper presents a structured, machine-readable dataset of approximately 13,000 Byzantine book
epigrams, mostly dating from the 11th to 15th centuries and written in Byzantine Greek. The
dataset is derived from the Database of Byzantine Book Epigrams, an ongoing Ghent University
project that provides a web interface for exploring the epigrams but does not support large-scale
exports or cross-referencing of metadata. Our pipeline extracts and normalizes information from
Elasticsearch and PostgreSQL, stores it in SQLite, and exports the results to Zenodo. By structuring
the data, it becomes easier to use in computational and AI-driven research and allows intuitive linking
of metadata with information from other sources.
