The Peshitta is the Syriac Old Testament. See Wikipedia.

This repo is a research environment for the study of the (Old Testament) Peshitta.

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 is a good starting point for textual data processing.

For authors, provenance and license: see About.

The main processing tool is Text-Fabric. It is instrumental to turn the analysis of ancient data into computing narratives.

The ecosystem is Python and Jupyter notebooks.

Start with the tutorial.

This is work in progress!

Currently, the headings turn up in the text itself. This will be remedied before the next major release.
