Comprehensive parallel edition, reading-optimized

Set of twenty chapters on the ascetic life, addressed to residents of Jerusalem. Known in two recensions.
About this edition
The full parallel edition below has been optimized for reading. Old Testament references follow the Septuagint. Select TEI markup has been retained. If a passage has a grouped set of versions that are extremely close to each other, they have been combined into one reading, with redlining and embedded statistical charts to show exactly where and how much each version differs from the others. Vertical bars mark the beginning of lines in the source. Annotations marking words have been retained.
Such rich enhancements have a major drawback, in that they break up words and phrases, compromising browser-based searches. If you prioritize finding text, visit the search-optimized version.
Click Options below to rearrange or (de)select versions, or to learn about the underlying sources.
The edition below has been generated by TAN Parabola, one of the flagship applications of the Text Alignment Network (version 2021), based on the master TAN/TEI files. For more about the Text Alignment Network, visit textalign.net.
