Table 2
Coptic SCRIPTORIUM Resources.
| Resource Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Conceptual works | Letters, treatises, sermons, contracts, monastic rules and other texts, as distinguished from the individual instantiations, editions, or versions of these “conceptual works” that survive in specific manuscript witnesses and publications. |
| Original physical manuscripts representing instantiations of the works | Fragmented papyri and parchment codices, housed in different museum, library, and private repositories. |
| Digital versions of the physical manuscripts | Digital facsimiles such as photographs and/or existing digital transcriptions of texts. |
| Logical groupings of works | Author groups (e.g., texts by monastic authors Shenoute or Besa) or groupings in which anonymous or multi-authored works have circulated or been grouped historically (e.g., the “New Testament” or collections of sayings known as the Apophthegmata Patrum). |
| Physical collections housing the manuscripts | Museum, library, and private repositories with unique (and sometimes changing) cataloguing systems. |
| Physical codices, each containing one or more manuscripts | Books (fragmentary or whole) that may contain multiple works; the works may have been bound into a codex in the original, ancient repository (such as a monastery), or works (fragmentary or whole) may have been bound into a codex at a modern repository, having been collected from different original sources but now all residing in a modern collection. |
| Authors of works | Original author, named or anonymous. |
| Scribes or hands | Persons who transcribed the text on the existing witness; may or may not be the author (in literary texts rarely if ever the author). |
| Paleogeographic symbols | Notations including punctuation, supralinear strokes. |
| Digital images of manuscripts | Digital photographs of manuscript pages and papyri, of varying quality and accessibility depending on the repository; majority of documents not photographed or photographs unavailable to the general public. |
| Linguistic Annotations5 | Annotations made by modern editors for linguistic properties, such as part of speech (nouns, verbs, articles, etc.) or syntax. |
| Morphemes6 | Linguistic units smaller than words that are linguistically or lexically meaningful and therefore annotated. |
| Word tokens | Coptic words. |
| Bound groups | Coptic is an agglutinative language with words and morphemes joining together in groupings (e.g., subject pronoun + verb + direct object pronoun). |
| Editors and Annotators of the Coptic Scriptorium project | Names of individuals who have transcribed and annotated documents. |
Table 3
Citable Visualizations.
| Visualization/Representation | Description |
|---|---|
| Normalized HTML | An HTML visualization of text annotations in which the Coptic text has been normalized for spelling, punctuation, word segmentation for ease of reading. |
| Analytic HTML | An HTML visualization that expresses multiple annotations, particularly by aligning a normalized Coptic annotation, an English translation annotation, and the part of speech annotation. |
| Diplomatic HTML | An HTML visualization of a transcription that most closely resembles a manuscript transcription. Coptic text annotations include original spellings, punctuation, orthography; visualization also may also express annotations for the manuscript’s line, column, and page breaks, ink color, gaps or lacunae, and other paleogeographic information (Krause and Zeldes, 2013). |
| TEI XML | Coptic text and annotations encoded in XML according to the EpiDoc subset of the Text Encoding Initiative standards9. (Does not contain the full set of linguistic and syntactic annotations.) |
| PAULA XML | Coptic text and annotations encoded in standoff markup XML according to PAULA standards10. Contains full set of annotations. |
| relANNIS | Relational database files including all text and annotations for search and visualizations in the ANNIS11 database infrastructure. |
| ANNIS Visualization | Live search and visualizations of the texts and annotations in the ANNIS infrastructure installed on a web server. |
