Acts of Pilate Greek Morphology

The text of the Acts of Pilate and Descent of Christ to Hades reflects the text used in Rick Brannan's The Acts of Pilate & the Descent of Christ to Hades: A Greek Reader published by Appian Way Press in 2018. Brannan's edition uses the Greek text from Tischendorf. The text of Acts of Pilate reflects Tischendorf's "A" text, and the text of Descent of Christ to Hades reflects Tischendorf's "B" text. It has been proofread against Tischendorf's edition multiple times and should reflect Tischendorf's text well, even with some typo corrections found along the way.

The output currently mimicks the record style of MorphGNT. Note that I've also added a column for "language" and "source" to the record.

The code within the repo takes a source internal to Rick, which is not in a state to be released, and prepares this edition for public release.

Codes and Fields

Columns

• book/chapter/verse
  • unlike MorphGNT, I use ActP.chap.verse and DChr.chap.verse where chap is the chapter number and verse is the verse number.
  • ActP has a chapter 0 which should be referred to as the prologue.
• part of speech
• parsing code
• text (including punctuation)
• word (with punctuation stripped)
• normalized word (using Tauber's greek_normalisation Python library
• lemma
• language (grc)
• source (RWB). This is source for both lemma and morphology string.

• C- conjunction
