About Masoretica

Sources & method.

Masoretica depends on manuscript repositories, photographers, editors, and open-data projects. Scans and page indexes are credited below. Page text comes from UXLC, the Codex Sinaiticus Project transcription, Miqra according to the Masorah (MAM), diplomatic manuscript transcriptions from BIMA / Corpus Masoreticum, the DT-UCPH Samaritan Pentateuch, and lxx-morph, with Greek-to-Hebrew verse-number equivalences from STEPBible TVTMS. The text drawer names the source used for each manuscript.

Verse highlights combine manuscript page indexes with kraken models, repository OCR or transcriptions where available, and conservative text alignment and confidence checks. Alexandrinus uses Party for Greek HTR recognition. Party's input lines come mainly from Internet Archive data, with kraken repairing sparse pages; reliable Internet Archive DjVu OCR matches are retained. Other linked sources include the BiblIA Hebrew model, the Samaritan model, Greek minuscule and Sinaiticus line-segmentation models, and the official Sinaiticus page-and-line data. Approximate locations are explicitly marked. Repository access terms determine whether a scan can be embedded; Vaticanus opens only in the Vatican Library viewer.

All scans remain with their repositories and are only displayed here for passage navigation, cropping, and verse highlighting. Image rights and credits are stated in each manuscript sidebar.
