I'm starting a project on changes in the English numeral system from ~1800-1950. Very interested in links between changes in technology and bureaucracy and number systems, e.g. how people read and spoke numbers. Anyone have any interesting sources I should be looking at?

Our project, inspired by the Visigothic queen Baddo, will generate a context-based LLM with secondary sources produced by historians who research one of the excision of Christianism: Arianism. This includes data from both Spanish and abroad historians from the twentieth century to the present.
