RP Byzantine Text in Free Digital Formats

2

This may be old news to some of you but I pass the info along anyway. Norman Simón Rodríguez maintains the public domain repository for the Robinson-Pierpont Greek Byzantine text. The following info is from him.

The repository includes the following resources:

  • The beta code files of the Robinson-Pierpont 2018 text, including Byzantine variants and the Byz vs. critical text apparatuses. There are both accented and unaccented versions, and one version has grammatical parsing data. These files are the official source files created by professor Robinson for his edition.
  • Converted Unicode files in CSV (Excel) format.
  • TEI-XML files of the Unicode text. This format is especially convenient for creating collations against the transcriptions made by the INTF, as those transcriptions also follow the TEI-XML standard.
  • The code used to convert the beta files into Unicode and XML. The code is written in the Python programming language and is open source.
  • Plain-text versions of the 'The case for Byzantine priority' essay in both English and Spanish.
The repository can be found at https://github.com/byztxt/byzantine-majority-text. More information about the Byzantine text can be consulted at https://byzantinetext.com/study/editions/robinson-pierpont/

  1. Gathering these sort of things into a "Digital Transcription and Collation" section of the Resources tab (of this site) would be wonderful.

  2. Hi, Peter. What do you think about the channel @textoyteologia4295 from Youtube and their videos about Leslie McFall?
