# Syriac



The Syriac New Testament is considered part of the Peshitta.

See [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peshitta#New_Testament_Peshitta).



However, we treat the Syriac New Testament and the (Old Testament) Peshitta as two different corpora.



# SyrNT in Text-Fabric



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 the Text-Fabric format,

which lends itself for easy data processing.



# Corpus



The source data in this repo is a

[SEDRA](https://sedra.bethmardutho.org/about/sedra) database export

made by George A. Kiraz and James W. Bennett.



See also [about](docs/about.md).



# Software



The main processing tool is [Text-Fabric](docs/textfabric.md). It is instrumental to

turn the analysis of ancient data into computing narratives.



The ecosystem is Python and Jupyter notebooks.



# Getting started
