Bulletin d’information du Groupe BCNH

La Bibliothèque copte de Nag Hammadi

Lancée en 1974 à l’Université Laval (Québec, Canada), l’édition de la Bibliothèque copte de Nag Hammadi (BCNH) est la seule initiative francophone d’envergure consacrée à ces manuscrits; son but est de produire de ces textes des éditions critiques accompagnées de traductions françaises et de commentaires explicatifs. Conservés au Musée copte du Vieux Caire, les manuscrits sont accessibles par le truchement d’une édition photographique patronnée par l’UNESCO et le service des antiquités de la République Arabe d’Égypte. Cette publication photographique, qui reproduit les feuillets de papyrus tels quels, rend les textes accessibles aux spécialistes et sert de base ensuite aux éditions critiques, qui reconstruisent dans la mesure du possible les lacunes des manuscrits, pour ensuite donner lieu à des traductions, à des analyses philologiques et à des commentaires explicatifs.

C’est à cette entreprise d’édition critique, de traduction française et d’analyse, que s’attaquèrent à l’Université Laval en 1974 les regrettés Jacques É. Ménard et Hervé Gagné, entourés de jeunes chercheurs québécois et étrangers. Deux entreprises analogues avaient été lancées quelques années auparavant, l’une à Berlin par le Berliner Arbeitskreis für koptisch-gnostische Schriften, l’autre à l’Institute for Antiquity and Christianity de Claremont (CA).

News from the Coptic Scriptorium: Old Testament corpus release

Old Testament corpus release

June 12, 2017 / Amir Zeldes

 

We are happy to announce the release of the automatically annotated Sahidic Old Testament corpus (corpus identifier: sahidic.ot), based on the version of the available texts kindly provided by the CrossWire Bible Society SWORD Project thanks to work by Christian Askeland, Matthias Schulz and Troy Griffitts.

The corpus is available for search in ANNIS, much like the Sahidica New Testament corpus, together with word segmentation, morphological analysis, language of origin for loanwords, part of speech tagging and automatically aligned verse translations (except for parts of Jeremiah). Please expect some errors, due the fully automatic analysis in the corpus. The aligned translation is taken from the World English Bible. Here is an example search for the word ‘soul’:
norm=”ⲯⲩⲭⲏ”

You can also read entire chapters in ANNIS or at our repository, which look like this:
urn:cts:copticLit:ot.gen.crosswire:09

We hope that this resource will be helpful to Coptic scholars – please let us know if you have any questions or comments!

Bibliographie Papyrologique en ligne

Bibliographie Papyrologique en ligne

La BP a pour ambition de fournir une information bibliographique complète, correcte et rapide dans tous les domaines qui relèvent, au sens large, de la papyrologie. Elle a été fondée en 1932 par Marcel HOMBERT, à la suite d'un projet présenté au IIe congrès international de Papyrologie (Leyde, 1931).

Poursuivie par Georges NACHTERGAEL, la BP est aujourd'hui rédigée par Alain MARTIN, Alain DELATTRE, Paul HEILPORN et Naïm VANTHIEGHEM, avec la collaboration de Henri MELAERTS et Cecilia SAERENS. Elle est éditée par l'Association Égyptologique Reine Élisabeth, avec le concours du Centre de Papyrologie et d'Épigraphie grecque de l'Université libre de Bruxelles (ULB).

On peut consulter en annexe:

•		le projet original, tel qu'il a été formulé en 1931 par Marcel HOMBERT;
•		un historique dressé à l'occasion du XVe Congrès international de Papyrologie Bruxelles, 1977) par Georges NACHTERGAEL et Roger S. BAGNALL;
•		le bilan de 75 années de BP présenté par Alain MARTIN, dans le cadre du XXVe Congrès international de Papyrologie (Ann Arbor, 2007);
•		l'annonce de nouveaux développements par Alain DELATTRE et Paul HEILPORN lors du XXVIIe Congrès international de Papyrologie (Varsovie, 2013).

La banque de données en ligne accessible ici rassemble toutes les fiches distribuées depuis la création de la BP jusqu'au dernier envoi de l'année écoulée, ainsi qu'un certain nombre de fiches complémentaires. Sa réalisation a bénéficié du concours de Roger S. BAGNALL, Alexandre BUCHET et Annie DEKNUDT (†).

Digital Corpus of Literary Papyri: DCLP

Digital Corpus of Literary Papyri: DCLP 

DCLP offers information about and transcriptions of Greek and Latin literary and subliterary papyri preserved on papyri, ceramic sherds (ostraka), wooden tablets, and other portable media. It is built on the model of papyri.info, relying on its own versions of the Papyrological Navigator (PN) for searching and browsing and Papyrological Editor (PE) for peer-reviewed curation of texts. The site aims to do for ancient literature preserved on papyri what papyri.info does for Greek and Latin documents. An ultimate goal is also to provide search and browse functionality across the entire corpus of Greek and Latin papyri--documentary, literary, and subliterary alike.

DCLP aggregates material from the Leuven Database of Ancient Documents (LDAB), Bibliographie Papyrologique (BP), Thesaurus Herculanensium Voluminum, and the Parma Medical Project, and depends on close collaboration with the Department of Classics at the University of Würzburg and the Duke Collaborative for Classics Computing (DC3). ...read more.

Coptic Scriptorium News: Coptic Treebank Released

Coptic Treebank Released

May 25, 2016 / Amir Zeldes / 

Yesterday we published the first public version of the Coptic Universal Dependency Treebank. This resource is the first syntactically annotated corpus of Coptic, containing complete analyses of each sentence in over 4,300 words of Coptic excerpts from Shenoute, the New Testament and the Apophthegmata Patrum.

To get an idea of the kind of analysis that Treebank data gives use, compare the following examples of an English and a Coptic dependency syntax tree. In the English tree below, the subject and object of the verb ‘depend’ on the verb for their grammatical function – the nominal subject (nsubj) is “I”, and the direct object (dobj) is “cat”.

We can quickly find out what’s going on in a sentence or ‘who did what to whom’ by looking at the arrows emanating from each word. The same holds for this Coptic example, which uses the same Universal Dependencies annotation schema, allowing us to compare English and Coptic syntax.

He gave them to the poor

Treebanks are an essential component for linguistic research, but they also enable a variety of Natural Language Processing technologies to be used on a language. Beyond automatically parsing text to make some more analyzed data, we can use syntax trees for information extraction and entity recognition. For example, the first tree below shows us that “the Presbyter of Scetis” is a coherent entity (a subgraph, headed by a noun); the incorrect analysis following it would suggest Scetis is not part of the same unit as the Presbyter, meaning we could be dealing with a different person.

One time, the Presbyter of Scetis went…

One time, the Presbyter went from Scetis… (incorrect!)

To find out more about this resource, check out the new Coptic Treebank webpage. And to read where the Presbyter of Scetis went, go to this URN: urn:cts:copticLit:ap.19.monbeg.

Coptic SCRIPTORIUM News: Full, machine-annotated New Testament Corpus updated

Full, machine-annotated New Testament Corpus updated

May 16, 2016 / ctschroeder / 0 Comments

 

We’ve updated and re-released our fully machine-annotated New Testament corpus.  sahidica.nt V2.1.0 contains the Sahidica NT text from Warren Wells Sahidica online NT, with the following features:

• Annotated with our latest NLP tools (part of speech tagger 1.9, tokenizer 4.1.0, language tagger and lemmatizer include lexical entries from the Database and Dictionary of Greek Loanwords in Coptic (DDGLC))
• Now contains the morph layer (annotating compound words and Coptic morphs such ⲣⲉϥ- ⲙⲛⲧ- ⲁⲧ-)
• Visualizations for linguistic analysis

Please keep in mind that this fully machine-annotated corpus is more accurate than previous versions but will nonetheless contain more errors than a corpus manually corrected by a human...

Coptic Scriptorium News: Annotation tools now include DDGLC Greek Loanword List

Annotation tools now include DDGLC Greek Loanword List

February 17, 2016 / ctschroeder / 0 Comments

We are pleased to announce the release of our newest versions of some of our natural language processing tools for Coptic which incorporate the lemma list of loanwords developed by the Database and Dictionary of Greek Loanwords in Coptic (DDGLC).

The DDGLC is part of the KELLIA partnership between American and German digital Coptic projects funded by the NEH Office of Digital Humanities and the DFG.  The DDGLC, under the direction of Prof. Dr. Tonio Sebastian Richter, has been building a database of Greek loanwords in Coptic in order to facilitate the study of language contact, language borrowing, and multilingualism in Egypt.


We have integrated the Greek lemma list into our language of origin tagger, tokenizer and morphology analysis, and lemmatizer.

Our online natural language processing web service (which bundles together all of our NLP tools into one web application) also includes this new data from the DDGLC.

The Greek loanword list should greatly increase the accuracy of many of our tools.  If you use them, please let us know how it goes!

We at Coptic SCRIPTORIUM are grateful for this partnership and the generosity of the DDGLC team.

Coptic Scriptorium

 [First posted in AWOL 6 December 2014, updated 10 February 2016]

Coptic Scriptorium

Coptic SCRIPTORIUM is a platform for interdisciplinary and computational research in texts in the Coptic language, particularly the Sahidic dialect.  As an open-source, open-access initiative, our technologies and corpus facilitate a collaborative environment for digital research for all scholars working in Coptic. We provide:

• tools to process Coptic texts
• a searchable, richly-annotated corpus of texts using the ANNIS search and visualization architecture
• visualizations of Coptic texts
• a collaborative platform for scholars to use and contribute to the project
• research results generated from the tools and corpus

Coptic SCRIPTORIUM is a collaborative, digital project created by Caroline T. Schroeder (University of the Pacific) and Amir Zeldes (Georgetown University). Our team is constantly growing.

We hope Coptic SCRIPTORIUM will serve as a model for future digital humanities projects utilizing historical corpora or corpora in languages outside of the Indo-European and Semitic language families.

Banque de données des textes coptes documentaires - Brussels Coptic Database

Banque de données des textes coptes documentaires - Brussels Coptic Database

Welcome to the site of the database of the Coptic documentary texts of the "Centre de Papyrologie et d'Épigraphie Grecque" of the Université Libre de Bruxelles.

This work, started early in 2000 and online since 2005, was conceived on the model of the Heidelberger Gesamtverzeichnis der Griechischen Papyrusurkunden Ägyptens , which had to be adapted to the specificities of the Coptic material. 

This project is also fully integrated with the Trismegistos plateform, which now numbers more than 100 000 records. 

The database regroups all the documentary Coptic texts published, i.e. more than 8000 documents. This database is updated periodically.

A card is devoted to each text. The information is recorded in the following fields : sigla, inventory number, support, origin, date, dialect, content, bibliography, remarks and Trismegistos number.

For a full description of the fields, click here. To start a research, click here.

Bienvenue sur le site de la banque de données des textes coptes documentaires du Centre de Papyrologie et d'Epigraphie Grecque de l'Université Libre de Bruxelles.

Ce travail, commencé au début de l'année 2000 et en ligne depuis 2005, a été conçu sur le modèle de la banque de données des papyrus grecs de Heidelberg ( Heidelberger Gesamtverzeichnis der Griechischen Papyrusurkunden Ägyptens ), qu’il a fallu adapter aux spécificités du matériel copte.

Le projet est intégré au sein de la plateforme Trismegistos, qui rassemble plusieurs banques de données partenaires et compte à présent plus de 100.000 fiches.

La banque de données contient l'ensemble des textes coptes documentaires publiés, soit à l'heure actuelle plus de 8000 documents. Elle est mise à jour périodiquement.

Une fiche est consacrée à chaque texte. Les informations sont enregistrées dans les champs suivants : sigle, numéro d'inventaire, support, provenance, date, dialecte, contenu, bibliographie, remarques et le numéro du texte dans la banque de données Trismegistos.
