We’re very excited to announce a new collaboration with the Coptic SCRIPTORIUM
project. As many of you will know, Coptic SCRIPTORIUM is a
collaborative project which digitises Coptic texts in a sophisticated
way which incorporates several layers, including lemmatisation
(identifying individual words), syntactical analysis (analysing the
grammar of clauses), and entity tagging (identifying ‘things’, usually
nouns and noun groups). This opens up many new ways of interacting with
texts, including using ANNIS to perform sophisticated searches, and linking texts to the Coptic Dictionary Online so that word usage can be explored.
With the help of the fantastic SCRIPTORIUM team, we’ve fully processed four texts,
which have been added to their corpus, and we will continue adding new
texts over the coming months. This is another big step in making Coptic
magical texts more accessible to researchers, and allowing them to be
studied as one part of the rich picture of text production in Late
Antique Egypt.
