Syriac

The Syriac New Testament is considered part of the Peshitta. See Wikipedia.

However, we treat the Syriac New Testament and the (Old Testament) Peshitta as two different corpora.

SyrNT in Text-Fabric

This repo is a research environment for the study of the Syriac New Testament. You can run your own programs off-line, and publish your work in online notebooks. To that end, the plain text of the Peshitta has brought into the Text-Fabric format, which lends itself for easy data processing.

Corpus

The source data in this repo is a SEDRA database export made by George A. Kiraz and James W. Bennett.

Software

The main processing tool is Text-Fabric. It is instrumental to turn the analysis of ancient data into computing narratives.

The ecosystem is Python and Jupyter notebooks.
