Manuscript projects
A registry of manuscript projects.
Textia is the shared home for projects that publish manuscript images, transcriptions, reference maps, and related evidence for different textual traditions. Use the Corpus navigator in the site header to choose a project and its reference, or select a project below to read about its scope.
Registry
Projects currently listed in Textia.
Each project has its own site, source materials, scope, and release history. Status labels distinguish established sites from pilots and planned work.
Masoretica
Biblical manuscripts
Browse biblical manuscripts, locate passages on manuscript pages, compare witnesses, identify textual variants, and study manuscript features.
Mishnaica
Mishnah manuscripts
Browse and compare Mishnah manuscripts, follow tractate, chapter, and Mishnah references, and inspect mapped manuscript passages.
Homerica
Homeric manuscripts
A small pilot for browsing and comparing Homeric manuscripts, beginning with two papyri that preserve the same lines of the Iliad.
Scope
Project methods and coverage.
The projects document their sources and coverage separately. The common interface supplies navigation and reading controls; each project remains responsible for its corpus and evidence.
- 01
Manuscript pages
Open digitized surfaces in physical order with page-specific metadata.
- 02
Reference lookup
Select a reference and inspect the manuscript pages mapped to it.
- 03
Witness comparison
Compare mapped passages across witnesses when a project supports it.
- 04
Manuscript description
Review documented script, layout, corrections, marginalia, damage, and related features.
Image analysis and HTR
Some projects use image analysis and handwritten text recognition (HTR) to locate text or describe pages. A recognition result is evidence for review; it is not automatically treated as a diplomatic transcription.
Registry
The registry changes as projects are added.
Use the JSON registry for machine-readable project names, status, subjects, and links.
