We have two new versifications that look like they will be ready for inclusion in 1.7.0: a LXX versification for LXXs & translations of LXXs and an Orthodox versification (based on the LXX v11n, but using a different book order and fewer books).<br>
<br>
These are all based on chapter and verse counts from a set of LXXs and LXX translations, and the process of generating these counts had to be done by hand since few of the source texts are digitized and those that are digitized are not generally trustworthy.<br>
<br>
I believe I did a fairly accurate job of checking every chapter for its highest verse, but I'm not confident that there are no errors. So I would really appreciate if some of you could volunteer to check my work. There aren't any particular technical requirements for this, beyond being able to use a browser & a text editor.<br>
<br>
There are twelve LXXs/translations for which I have collected data at<br>
<a href="http://www.crosswire.org/svn/sword-tools/trunk/versification/lxx_v11ns/" target="_blank">http://www.crosswire.org/svn/<u></u>sword-tools/trunk/<u></u>versification/lxx_v11ns/</a><br>
<br>
The source texts for each are listed in their .h files, near the top. Most of the source texts are online, usually at Google Books and/or Internet Archive. A couple are only available as printed texts, and I quite understand if no one can check those.<br>
<br>
In approximate order of what needs most urgent checking, we have:<br>
canon_swete.h (Swete LXX)<br>
canon_saas.h (Orthodox Study Bible OT -- print only)<br>
canon_tischendorf.h (Tischendorf LXX)<br>
canon_nets.h (NETS translation)<br>
canon_brenton.h (Brenton translation)<br>
canon_thomson.h (Thomson translation)<br>
canon_asser.h (Asser translation)<br>
canon_rahlfs.h (Rahlfs LXX)<br>
canon_howard.h (Howard's LXX Pentateuch translation)<br>
canon_ottley.h (Ottley's Cod. Alexandrinus Isaiah translation)<br>
canon_charles.h (Charles' APOT)<br>
canon_charlesworth.h (Charlesworth's OTP -- print only)<br>
<br>
The only part that needs checking is the big vm array under the "Maximum verses per chapter" comment. This looks something like:<br>
<br>
int vm_brenton[] = {<br>
// Genesis<br>
31, 24, 25, 26, 31, 23, 24, 22, 29, 32,<br>
32, 20, 18, 24, 21, 16, 27, 33, 38, 18,<br>
34, 24, 20, 67, 34, 35, 46, 22, 35, 43,<br>
55, 32, 20, 31, 29, 44, 35, 30, 23, 23,<br>
57, 38, 34, 34, 28, 34, 31, 22, 33, 26,<br>
<br>
The part that needs confirmation is that the highest verse in Gen chapter 1 is 31, in chapter 2 it's 24, in chapter 3 it's 25, etc. Chapter counts may vary slightly, but that's not important here, and missing chapters should simply be recorded as having 0 verses.<br>
<br>
If you would be willing to take on a volume, please claim it.<br>
<br>
If you have suggestions of additional LXX editions or translations that we should be certain we can represent, please suggest.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Chris<br>
