Re: How to deal with weird versifications

One simple option is to run each versification and check how much misery you see.

our versifications are meant to be good , approximate guesses, not exact fits. But that said German Lutheran would be a likely fit, no?

Subject: [sword-devel] How to deal with weird versifications

Hello brothers and sisters,

I've been working on encoding various old dutch bibles in OSIS, in order

to make them available as SWORD modules. I've now got passable OSIS

versions of the bibles (that I will improve over time), but creating

SWORD modules is turning out to be an issue, since they all use

different, weird, nonstandard versifications.

I'm trying to figure out which versification to use for each of the

bibles, while preferably doing as few (structural) changes to the bibles

themselves. Is there a better way to do this than trial and error,

accompagnied by inspection of the various `canon_asdf.h` files in the

sword repository?

And I vaguely recall there being talk on per-bible versifications - does

anyone know whether there has been work in that regard?

May the Lord bless you and keep you,

pinoaffe
