Dear B-Greek Folk,
Almost half a year ago, there was some information posted about an
electronic version of the Critical Edition of the Greek New Testament.
Beyond the information that is excerpted below from
<http://www.uni-tuebingen.de/cgi-bin/abs/abs?propid=54>, I wondered if
anyone has an update.
"Now, it is the turn of computing technology and electronic publishing to
confront this challenge. Over the last five years, the Institut für
Neutestamentliche Textforschung, Münster, (INTF) has been progressively
incorporating computer-assisted techniques in the preparation of the new
Editio Critica Maior series of the Greek New Testament (ECM) . . . ..
"Recently, and encouraged by the success of this process, the INTF and their
publisher, the Deutsche Bibelgesellschaft (DBG) have determined on a more
ambitious program: the making of an electronic edition of the 28th edition
of the Nestle-Aland Greek New Testament . . . However, the INTF and DBG
propose far more: the electronic version of the existing text should be
interwoven with full transcripts of the key manuscripts (and, as time
passes, more and more manuscripts), collations of these, and analytic tools
including the facility to carry out dynamic comparisions of manuscripts,
build stemmatic analyses from the comparisons, and much more. Beyond this,
the possibilities of linking to on-line manuscript images and lexicographic
resources open yet further perspectives.
"Much of this will be built on the existing Collate software, and over the
next years Robinson and other Leicester staff (both from the Centre and from
Scholarly Digital Editions [SDE]) will be working with Wachtel and other
staff at the INTF and DBG to set up the work practices necessary to support
this, and developing a series of prototype publications. With funding from
the Deutsche Forschungsgemeineschaft and the DBG, the first of these
prototypes will be publically available on the web in February 2003. We will
present a version of this first prototype at the conference. All text will
be encoded in XML, following the TEI guidelines. The first prototypes, at
least, will use Anastasia, the electronic publication system developed by
SDE."
Thanks.
Sincerely,
Bob
