CHIC: Corpus Hieroglyphicarum Inscriptionum Cretae (331 documents, 144 signs)

The 1996 reference edition: photographs, drawings and transcriptions of every known inscription, numbered H 1 to 122 (clay), I 123 to 179 (impressions), S 180 to 314 (seals) plus miscellanea, with the 144-sign list. Print; page scans of the Études crétoises series are on the École française d'Athènes library (cefael.efa.gr). Not machine-readable; transcribing it into a stable sign numbering is the first job for any computational work.
