A Corpus of Biblical Names in the Greek New Testament to Study the Additions, Omissions, and Variations across Different Manuscripts

The analysis of textual variants of verses in the Ancient Greek New Testament across different manuscripts has mainly been done by close reading with manual effort. With the increasing number of transcriptions of the different manuscripts, quantitative analyses (so-called distant reading) can be used to search for patterns of omission, addition, or other variations, to formulate novel hypotheses to be investigated by close reading. In this work, we present a corpus of biblical names including spelling variation and inflections and their mentions in the transcriptions of the Ancient Greek New Testament.针对不同抄本中的古希腊语新约各节经文文本异文的分析，过往主要通过人工精读完成。随着各类抄本转录文本的数量持续增长，定量分析（即远读法（distant reading））可用于检索漏抄、增抄或其他异文的分布模式，进而提出可通过精读进一步验证的全新研究假说。本研究构建了一个包含拼写变异、词形变化，以及这些圣经专有名词在古希腊语新约抄本转录文本中出现情况的语料库。
