Reviewer 2 Report
This is an excellent study that rescues and analyses the measurements of Louis Morin, a pioneer in this type of measurement. The manuscript is methodologically rigorous and points out possible errors in the calibrations and areas that need further research and discussion. I have no corrections or suggestions for this publication.

Reviewer 3 Report
General comments:
The manuscript "Early Humidity Measurements by Louis Morin in Paris between 1701 and 1711 - Data and Metadata" focuses on the history of humidity measurements in Paris in the early 18th century. The recovery of data from early meteorological measurements is of particular importance for revealing the processes underlying the climate change in the long term. In this sense, the subject of the manuscript is important and it merits publication in the journal after changing the text and figures according to the specific comments. It would also be good to convert the relative humidity measurements to the common unit (%) in the present study. That way, the recovery of the data would be complete. At the end of the manuscript, the authors state that this will happen in a future study, which will be eagerly awaited.
Specific comments:
l.160 This paragraph (3.1) is better to be labeled “Quality of digitization” or “Quality check of digitization”.
l.163 Post-processing should be explained in more detail.
l. 173 The daily cycle is not possible to be seen in Figure 4.
Figure 4 It is very hard to distinguish morning, afternoon and evening measurements. Figure 4 could be divided into 3 panels the first one with morning measurements, the second one with afternoon measurements and the third one with evening measurements. Or an additional figure could show the three measurements for a shorter period such as week or month. This would help also in presenting the daily cycle.
Figure 5 Please check the linear regression line in panel g.
l. 228-231 This is probably due to the position of the station relative to the Seine.
Part 5 of the manuscript is conclusion rather than discussion.
l. 285-293 These lines can be omitted because they repeat information.

Round 2
Reviewer 1 Report
Congratulations for the revised version of the paper. All suggestions have been carefully considered and the overall result is excellent.
I have only a minor comment: On page 11 lines 304-305 you mention that there was an area of high pressure that was characterized by temperture, humidity, and .... high pressure. This is obvious. Please remove the repetition.
