Collation

Introductory remarks

On this page, we are providing the results for collating the textual witnesses with CollateX (https://collatex.net/). We were able to get better results by deleting vocalization, punctuation and separating the textual witnesses into several branches. This separation was leaned on the stemmata. The only difference is that the West Syriac branch and the tradition of Urmia were set in one file (cf. Stemmata).

Nevertheless, the current results are in need of improvement. The .csv- and .svg-files are ignoring spaces and the software is not able to make all accordances visible now. Thus, we were not able to solve further several technical problems with CollateX in this project phase. However, we are providing the first results on this page and we will work for a better solution in the next stage.
