[sword-devel] Help wanted: LXX & Orthodox versifications

[Костя Маслюк]

I would take something. What about this:

canon_tischendorf.h     (Tischendorf LXX)
https://ia600308.us.archive.org/19/items/Tischendorf.ii.greekOldTestament.10Volumes.var.ed.1835-1880/02.VetusTestamentumGraece.LXX.Interp.v1.Gen-Esth.Tischendorf.rev.1856..pdf
https://ia600308.us.archive.org/19/items/Tischendorf.ii.greekOldTestament.10Volumes.var.ed.1835-1880/03.VetusTestamentumGraece.LXX.Interp.v2.Job-Hab.Tischendorf.rev.1856..pdf

> 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).
>
> 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.

> There are twelve LXXs/translations for which I have collected data at

> 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.
>
> In approximate order of what needs most urgent checking, we have:
> canon_swete.h           (Swete LXX)
> canon_saas.h            (Orthodox Study Bible OT -- print only)
> canon_tischendorf.h     (Tischendorf LXX)
> canon_nets.h            (NETS translation)
> canon_brenton.h         (Brenton translation)
> canon_thomson.h         (Thomson translation)
> canon_asser.h           (Asser translation)
> canon_rahlfs.h          (Rahlfs LXX)
> canon_howard.h          (Howard's LXX Pentateuch translation)
> canon_ottley.h          (Ottley's Cod. Alexandrinus Isaiah translation)
> canon_charles.h         (Charles' APOT)
> canon_charlesworth.h    (Charlesworth's OTP -- print only)
>
> The only part that needs checking is the big vm array under the "Maximum
> verses per chapter" comment. This looks something like:
>
> int vm_brenton[] = {
>   // Genesis
>   31, 24, 25, 26, 31, 23, 24, 22, 29, 32,
>   32, 20, 18, 24, 21, 16, 27, 33, 38, 18,
>   34, 24, 20, 67, 34, 35, 46, 22, 35, 43,
>   55, 32, 20, 31, 29, 44, 35, 30, 23, 23,
>   57, 38, 34, 34, 28, 34, 31, 22, 33, 26,
>
> 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.
>
> If you would be willing to take on a volume, please claim it.
>
> If you have suggestions of additional LXX editions or translations that we
> should be certain we can represent, please suggest.

> Thanks,
