John Wycliffe's Translation
This page describes preprocessing results for the text of John Wycliffe's Translation obtained from The Wesley Center Online.
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. The Biblical text files were last edited on 2002-05-24.
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 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. The results are as follows:

Analysis
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!
- I suspect the remaining 80 v11n issues are very similar.
