=== Weaknesses ===
 +
Both Tyndale and Wycliffe texts from the Wesley Center Online were the work of Sergej A. Fedosov of the Slavic Bible website.
 +
 
 +
Some problems with Sergej's work is that he didn't transcribe the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_English Middle English] vowels with a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macron macron] that represented a n, or m – so the text has a lot of ''hi'' meaning ''him'', ''the'' meaning ''them'', ''wet'' meaning ''went'' etc., where these are not spellings that the printer used. He also transcribes the ''þe'', ''þt'' and such [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thorn_%28letter%29 thorn letters] as ''ye'', ''yt'' instead of ''the'', ''that'', etc., but transcribes the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ampersand ampersand] (&) as ''and''.
 +
 
 +
He also capitalised some words where this was inappropriate. e.g. The first word of Leviticus 1, "Forsothe" was transcribed as "FORSOTHE".

==== 1 Esdras ====
 +
 +
The versification of 1 Esdras 10 is peculiar in the list of names section at verses 32-44. It's impossible to make one simple change that would make this line up with how it reads in the KJV. I therefore inserted an empty verse 38 containing the following: <nowiki>[Note: the versification is offset in this list]</nowiki>.
 +
 +

 +
 +
Esther includes the Greek additions, but with ordinary verse numbers. Esther thus has 16 chapters instead of the usual 10 in the KJV.

 +
Job chapter 1 had a malformed chapter heading (CAP. I.) in the original text file. ''This was corrected by my TextPipe filter''.
 +
 +
==== Psalms ====
 +
 +
Psalm 9 had a malformed heading (PALM 9) in the original text file. ''This was corrected by my TextPipe filter''.
 +
 +
The numbering of the Psalms follows the Greek pattern. See [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psalms#Composition_and_numbering Composition and numbering] section of the article on Wikipedia.
 +
 +
Psalm 10 is appended to Psalm 9 as a single Psalm, yet the verse numbers were restarted at 1. ''The Wikisource edition corrected this oddity''.
 +
 +
I have included the original verse numbers (corresponding to Psalm 10) in braces.
 +
 +
==== Ecclesiastes ====
 +
 +
The versification for Ecclesiates 5 was offset by minus one. I have included the original verse numbers in braces.
 +
 +
==== Songes of Songes ====
 +
 +
The versification for Songes of Songes 6 was offset by minus one. I have included the original verse numbers in braces.
 +
 +
==== Daniel ====
 +
Daniel includes the Greek additions, but with ordinary verse numbers. Daniel thus has 14 chapters instead of the usual 12 in the KJV.
 +
 +
==== 2 Machabeis ====
 +
 +
The versification for 2 Machabeis 2:26-33 was offset by minus one. I have included the original verse numbers in braces.
 +
 +
=== Edited USFM files ===
 +
A copy of the USFM files was made. Those with versification issues have been edited until the preprocessor utility reported none.

John Wycliffe's Translation

This page describes preprocessing results for the text of John Wycliffe's Translation obtained from The Wesley Center Online. The same text is also available from WikiSource. For historical context, see Wycliffe's Bible.

Weaknesses

Both Tyndale and Wycliffe texts from the Wesley Center Online were the work of Sergej A. Fedosov of the Slavic Bible website.

Some problems with Sergej's work is that he didn't transcribe the Middle English vowels with a macron that represented a n, or m – so the text has a lot of hi meaning him, the meaning them, wet meaning went etc., where these are not spellings that the printer used. He also transcribes the þe, þt and such thorn letters as ye, yt instead of the, that, etc., but transcribes the ampersand (&) as and.

He also capitalised some words where this was inappropriate. e.g. The first word of Leviticus 1, "Forsothe" was transcribed as "FORSOTHE".

Description

The downloaded ZIP file contained 76 books comprising the 66 protocanonical books and 10 deuterocanonical books. It also included a text file providing a key to the booknames. See below.

Apocalips - rev.txt
Laodicensis - lao.txt

The Biblical text files were last edited on 2002-05-24. I have not attempted to compare the full text with the derived copy at WikiSource.

Filenames

I prefixed the filenames for the Biblical text files with the usual book numbers, with an underscore to avoid mis-sorting filenames that already began with a numeral.

Deuterocanonical books

To include the 10 deuterocanonical books in a SWORD module would require using av11n.

Here is a list of these books extracted from the original text file of booknames. 

3 Esdras - 2ez.txt
Tobit - tob.txt
Judith - jdt.txt
Wisdom - wis.txt
Syrach - syr.txt
Preier of Jeremye - epj.txt
Baruk - bar.txt
1 Machabeis - 1ma.txt
2 Machabeis - 2ma.txt
Laodicensis - lao.txt

These books appear in the following order

  • 3 Esdras, Tobit & Judith are after 2 Esdras.
  • Wisdom & Syrach are after Songes of Songes.
  • Preier of Jeremye & Baruk are after Lamentations.
  • 1 & 2 Machabeis are after Malachie
  • Laodicensis is after Apocalips

These are the numbers that I assigned for these at the file renaming. 

67_TOB.TXT
68_JDT.TXT
70_WIS.TXT
71_SYR.TXT
72_BAR.TXT
73_EPJ.TXT
77_1MA.TXT
78_2MA.TXT
81_2EZ.TXT
87_LAO.TXT

Conversion to USFM

I made a simple TextPipe filter to convert the files to rudimentary USFM, complete with ID and Header tags, plus the following remarks. 

\rem John Wycliffe's Translation of the Bible
\rem converted to rudimentary USFM format by David Haslam
\rem from the text obtained from The Wesley Center Online
\rem http://wesley.nnu.edu/fileadmin/imported_site/biblical_studies/wycliffe/

The ID and Header for Genesis looks like this: 

\id GEN
\h Genesis

Versification issues

I used Dirk's GoBibleCreator USFM Preprocessor utility to detect versification issues.

Results

The results were as follows: (82 issues in total, some of which are inter-related due to being immediately adjacent)

I have cross-checked these issues against the WikiSource edition. All but one of them were not corrected.

Analysis

Genesis

Let's examine the first such issue as an example: 

\v 20 And Adam clepide the name of his wijf Eue, for sche was the moder of alle men lyuynge. And the Lord God made cootis of skynnys to Adam and Eue his wijf, and clothide hem; and seide, Lo...!
\v 22 Adam is maad as oon of vs, and knowith good and yuel; now therfore se ye, lest perauenture he putte his hond, and take of the tre of lijf, and ete, and lyue with outen ende.
\v 23 And the Lord God sente hym out of paradijs of likyng, that he schulde worche the erthe, of which he was takun.
\v 24 And God castide out Adam, and settide bifore paradis of lykyng cherubyn, and a swerd of flawme and turnynge aboute to kepe the weie of the tre of lijf.

Clearly there is no marker for \v 21.

Verse 20 requires splitting into two verses in order to match the v11n for the KJV. Thus it would then become: 

\v 20 And Adam clepide the name of his wijf Eue, for sche was the moder of alle men lyuynge.
\v 21 And the Lord God made cootis of skynnys to Adam and Eue his wijf, and clothide hem; and seide, Lo!

In Wikisource, this change has not been made, even though some issues have been fixed in other books.

Many of the remaining 81 v11n issues were similar.

3 Kings

Although not detected automatically, it should be noted that two verses in 3 Kings each contain a numbered note that starts on a new line.

Chapter 11 

\v 5 But Salomon worschipide Astartes 
1, the goddesse of Sidoneis, and Chamos, the god of Moabitis, and Moloch, the idol of Amonytis;

Chapter 15 

\v 23 Sotheli the residue of alle wordis of Asa, and of al his strengthe, and alle thingis whiche he dide, and the citees whiche he bildide, whether these ben not writun in the book of wordis of daies of kingis of Juda? Netheles Asa hadde ache in feet 
11, in the tyme of his eelde.

1 Esdras

The versification of 1 Esdras 10 is peculiar in the list of names section at verses 32-44. It's impossible to make one simple change that would make this line up with how it reads in the KJV. I therefore inserted an empty verse 38 containing the following: [Note: the versification is offset in this list].

Esther

Esther includes the Greek additions, but with ordinary verse numbers. Esther thus has 16 chapters instead of the usual 10 in the KJV.

Job

Job chapter 1 had a malformed chapter heading (CAP. I.) in the original text file. This was corrected by my TextPipe filter.

Psalms

Psalm 9 had a malformed heading (PALM 9) in the original text file. This was corrected by my TextPipe filter.

The numbering of the Psalms follows the Greek pattern. See Composition and numbering section of the article on Wikipedia.

Psalm 10 is appended to Psalm 9 as a single Psalm, yet the verse numbers were restarted at 1. The Wikisource edition corrected this oddity.

I have included the original verse numbers (corresponding to Psalm 10) in braces.

Ecclesiastes

The versification for Ecclesiates 5 was offset by minus one. I have included the original verse numbers in braces.

Songes of Songes

The versification for Songes of Songes 6 was offset by minus one. I have included the original verse numbers in braces.

Daniel

Daniel includes the Greek additions, but with ordinary verse numbers. Daniel thus has 14 chapters instead of the usual 12 in the KJV.

2 Machabeis

The versification for 2 Machabeis 2:26-33 was offset by minus one. I have included the original verse numbers in braces.

Edited USFM files

A copy of the USFM files was made. Those with versification issues have been edited until the preprocessor utility reported none.

Go Bible

A Wycliffe Go Bible application has been made from the edited USFM files. This has been tested successfully using mpowerplayer.
