Nestle 1904 GNT - Welcome

This Github repository houses a comprehensive dataset for the Greek New Testament (Nestle 1904, seventh edition: reprint 1913), enabling linguistic and textual analytics through the Python package Text-Fabric. One of the main features is the ability to present the Greek text as a syntax tree using constituency grammar, reflecting the hierarchical arrangement of grammatical elements within the sentence.

This dataset was created as part of the conversion of Eberhard Nestle’s 1904 Greek New Testment (British Foreign Bible Society 1904) into TextFabric dataformat. Input to these conversions are the XML node files representing the MACULA-greek, formatted according to Syntax diagram markup by the Global Bible Initiative (GBI). The source data is Low-Fat XML. The most recent source data can be found in this Github repository.
