Peshitta Character Set: Transliteration or Unicode

Feb-14-2002 at 05:57 PM (UTC+3 Nineveh, Assyria)

Does anyone have or know of a translation scheme for the character set used in the SEDRA (Syriac Electronic Retrieval Archive) Database? SEDRA uses some type of transliteration character set; while the Estrangelo (V1.1) font and Peshitta text I have uses the unicode character set. I need to do either a character by character substitution or a word by word substitution.

Hello,

Refer to the posting "Found old notes on peshito.com's co..., Larry19, Jan-18-2002, 11:13 PM" thread where I have posted a xref (I think this is what you are looking for?).

As far as your earlier request for an ASCII version of the Peshitta, there are 2 routes to making your own: 1)(Western text)Get set up with the Online Bible system (www.onlinebible.com), download their "1905 Syriac Peshitta New Testament" (I just looked on the website and can't find it anymore - but it has been referenced here - eg "RE: The Peshitta online text" Sep-15-2000 at 12:56 PM "). Once you have it running, just print to file (automatically RTF format), open the RTF file in MSWord, and resave as a ".txt" file. 2)(Eastern text) is similar - www.peshitta.org - peshitta button - here each book is available in MSWord ".doc" format, so download each, open, and "Save as" in ".txt" format. You can concatenate the files via the MSDOS "Copy" command.

Hope this is what you are looking for.

2. I've done a little work here

Greetings,

I've done a little work with the Peshitta in this regards. I converted the .doc files to OpenOffice .sxw format, and have done some work on getting them into a more plain xml format. All that is the character set from the Estrangelo font. I also just ran the .doc files through antiword and made .txt files out of it. They aren't very pretty at this point, but they are done. I don't know why you are going after ASCII, but hopefully this should help.

They are all available at https://www.knewra.com/aramaic in the appropriate directories(doc, openoffice, txt and xml).

Enjoy,
God Bless,

Daniel

Assyrian \ã-'sir-é-an\ adj or n (1998)   1:  descendants of the ancient empire of Ashur   2:  the Assyrians, although representing but one single nation as the direct heirs of the ancient Assyrian Empire, are now doctrinally divided, inter sese, into five principle ecclesiastically designated religious sects with their corresponding hierarchies and distinct church governments, namely, Church of the East, Chaldean, Maronite, Syriac Orthodox and Syriac Catholic.  These formal divisions had their origin in the 5th century of the Christian Era.  No one can coherently understand the Assyrians as a whole until he can distinguish that which is religion or church from that which is nation -- a matter which is particularly difficult for the people from the western world to understand; for in the East, by force of circumstances beyond their control, religion has been made, from time immemorial, virtually into a criterion of nationality.   3:  the Assyrians have been referred to as Aramaean, Aramaye, Ashuraya, Ashureen, Ashuri, Ashuroyo, Assyrio-Chaldean, Aturaya, Chaldean, Chaldo, ChaldoAssyrian, ChaldoAssyrio, Jacobite, Kaldany, Kaldu, Kasdu, Malabar, Maronite, Maronaya, Nestorian, Nestornaye, Oromoye, Suraya, Syriac, Syrian, Syriani, Suryoye, Suryoyo and Telkeffee. — Assyrianism verb
