[sword-devel] Catholic versification

[Fr Cyrille]

Hello,
Recently a person interested in the Catholic bible in French told me 
about the mapping problems between Catholic versification and the kjva 
concerning Esther. So I'm bringing up the question of a new Catholic 
versification that could better deal with this kind of problem and at 
the same time incorporate some of the errors in current Catholic 
versifications. I should mention that two versifications for French 
Bibles have been added since my proposal for a new Catholic 
versification, which was made long before these versifications were 
added, and which was not favorably received at the time. In our case, 
the number of Bibles that follow this versification is simply enormous, 
since the majority of Catholic Bibles do. I would also add that the LXX 
versification is not entirely correct. There are no LXX today that put 
16 chapters to Esther. Ralph's already uses letters to integrate Greek 
passages into the text.
In fact, Catholic versification simply follows Ralph's. So I suggest 
that we seriously reopen this question with concrete suggestions.
For my part, the suggestion is simple: convert the numbers in the Greek 
passages into verses and offset the numbered verses in the same 
chapters. I'll copy you on what that might look like.
