This repo is a research environment for the study of the Syriac New Testament. You can run your own programs off-line, and publish your work in online notebooks. To that end, the plain text of the Peshitta has brought into Text-Fabric format, which lends itself for easy data processing.
The Syriac New Testament is considered part of the Peshitta. See Wikipedia.
However, we treat the Syriac New Testament and the (Old Testament) Peshitta as two different corpora.
We have a specification of the transcription format and how we model the text in Text-Fabric.
The source data in this repo is a SEDRA database export made by George A. Kiraz and James W. Bennett.
