While we're on the topic of morphological editions of non-canonical Greek texts (see below post), check this out:
I'm so excited about this one! I've been lobbying internally for a morph edition of the Apostolic Fathers in Greek for awhile, and I just couldn't keep quiet any longer. We'll do it if we get the interest, so tell your friends & neighbors!
Update (2005-07-09): The illustrious James Tauber posts a comment asking about the source of the morphological analysis for both Philo and the Apostolic Fathers -- wondering if we're using existing analyses or doing our own. The short answer is "yes". The long answer is below.
For the Philo project, we contacted the Norwegian Philo Concordance Project.* We've entered into an agreement to use their database (thanks, guys!) as a basis for this resource. Their database is morphologically analyzed and lemmatized. It also has casing information, punctuation, citation milestones and some text-critical markers (similar to brackets/double-brackets in NA27/UBS4), among other things. We're converting the database into a running text (that's my job, you can see some advance pics in the screen shots on the bottom of Logos' Philo Page) so that it will be readable, searchable and usable within the LDLS.
The primary contributors to the Philo Concordance Project -- Peder Borgen, Roald Skartsen and Kåre Fuglseth (and perhaps others of whom I am unaware; no slight is intended) -- have done a tremendous amount of work on this project for several years, and should be thanked for their effort and contribution. We're happy to be working with them.
The Apostolic Fathers project is a bit different. We are starting fresh. The Greek text(s) will be mechanically analyzed. This analysis will then be revised/corrected by scholars with whom Logos has established working relationships** to do this sort of work.
That's about all the detail I can give, but it should be sufficient to answer the question.
Update II (2005-07-10): Stephen C. Carlson (Hypotyposeis) blogs about the Apostolic Fathers and mentions this post as well as a previous blog entry of his that I commented on. For the record: My copy of Loeb Apostolic Fathers vol I by Ehrman bit the dust as well. That is, about 9 months ago, it slipped off of my book-laden kitchen table, and when it hit the floor (less than a 3 foot drop) the binding promptly split from the book cover. I've been handling vol II with kid gloves ever since, like it's incunabula or something, to ensure it stays intact. Hopefully the quality control folk at Harvard University Press have already addressed this issue -- I'm leery of purchasing any more Loeb vols (and there are a few I have my eyes on; I'll likely blog about that later) because I don't want them to fall apart on me.
Update III (2005-07-12): Hoo-yah! The Logos pre-publication page says that the Apostolic Fathers project is "Under Development". That means we've received enough initial interest to begin the project! Thanks, folks. This one's gonna be fun to do. And make sure to spread the word to folks that you think might be interested.
* If you've been working on morphologically analyzed original language corpora in the area of Biblical studies; or early versions; or church fathers; or inscriptions; or material in cognate languages; or heretofore unavailable manuscript transcriptions; or other stuff dealing with languages important to Biblical studies such as Syriac, Aramaic, Akkadian, Coptic, Ethiopic, Armenian, Greek, Hebrew, Latin or whatever and have thought, "Gee, this stuff would be way cool if it was available in Logos Bible Software" ... well, we want to talk with you. I can't promise anything, but it's always good to dialog about this stuff and then see what happens. If you want some further information, send me an email (address is in the sidebar) with details about your project (or database, or whatever) and I'll direct it to the folks you need to deal with.
** If you're a well-qualified scholar, have never met a verb you couldn't parse and are interested in this sort of work -- we also want to talk with you. Again, I can't promise anything at all. But if you have interest, send me an email (again, the address is on the sidebar) with your qualifications and language education/skills, and I'll forward it along to the folks at Logos who need to be made aware of your interest.
