About
This historical-critical edition of the Syriac and Arabic Ahiqar texts is a project funded by the German Research Foundation. It is hosted by the Faculty of Theology of the University of Göttingen and by the Göttingen State and University Library (SUB). The texts were encoded by the researchers using the TextGrid Lab. The SUB Technical Team developed and provided a TEI schema and advised on encoding. For the technical realization of the Digital Edition, a generic TextAPI was developed to deliver the data and the TIDO Viewer to display the data.
Contribution welcome
Would you like to contribute additional texts to our digital edition? We welcome your interest! Our infrastructure is designed to be extendable, and we are happy to hear from you if you would like to contribute suitable material. Please note:
For technical reasons, we can only accept data in a specific format. Unfortunately, we are not able to adapt other formats. Also, since the original project funding has ended, we cannot currently commit to a specific timeline for integration. Feel free to get in touch to discuss the details!
