Unicode Greek LXX Textual Variants


UPDATE (September 26, 2006): A batch of clean files is available -- more to come.
the file "notes" records what I've done with them, and what remains to be done.
[under construction: link to files here]

(April 27, 2006):
I have been working on cleaning up two test-files: one from Goettingen and one from Rahlfs.

Hosea has been cleaned up as follows:
--superscripts are html-encoded
--latin and italics are html-encoded as italics
--chatper-verse indicators are styled as "#2.5" in red.
--references to chapter//verse in the apparatus are rendered as chapter.verse
--asterisk, formerly encoded as ^, is now rendered as ※
--obelus, formerly encoded as !!, is now rendered as ÷
--the symbol encoded as ^^ is now rendered as ↓
--some inappropriate line-breaks have been eliminated.
Still unresolved are the following:
--Syriac
--single exclamation point has not been changed to ⊙ Should it be? it's the closest I could find.
--MT has not been changed to 𝔐
(can your browser render that? I'm thinking most users won't be able to.)

4macc-gk has been cleaned up as follows:
--the Δs at the end of the file have been removed.
--superscripts are now encoded in html
--I didn't see any italics or latin tags in this file, so I didn't do anything there.
--a few greek words were still in betacode: I changed them into greek (by hand).
--Many ommissions had an Ê before the ommision sign, like this:
Greek]Ê > MS.
I deleted the Ês.
--There were, scattered throughout, lines containing only the character É. These were deleted.
--Chapter-verse indicators are now in red.
Should they be changed from ~x1y1 etc. to #01 01 etc. or something else?
I did not attempt to update the introductory material.
Other oddities remain in 4macc regarding large blocks of omissions.

The following errors have been fixed:
1) Hosea only went up to 6:11. It is now complete here
2) Joel was still in beta code. It is now in unicode greek here
3) Zechariah only went up to 5:3. It is now complete here
4) The last few pages of the first part of Psalms were still in Beta-code
(The beta-coder seems to have switched to different "Kraftml" tags at the end). That's fixed here
5) The hyper-link to 3macc was bad. Here's a good one: http://www.angelfire.com/pa5/cjmlxxvariants/3macc-gk.html
6) 2macc is also complete: http://www.angelfire.com/pa5/cjmlxxvariants/2macc-gk.html
