That would be terrific. Thanks, Костя.
One thing to keep in mind is to ignore any numbers in parentheses. These
represent other versification systems (usually the Masoretic
versification), so we don't want to capture that data.

I would take something. What about this:

We have two new versifications that look like they will be ready for
inclusion in 1.7.0: a LXX versification for LXXs & translations of
LXXs and an Orthodox versification (based on the LXX v11n, but using
a different book order and fewer books).
These are all based on chapter and verse counts from a set of LXXs
and LXX translations, and the process of generating these counts had
to be done by hand since few of the source texts are digitized and
those that are digitized are not generally trustworthy.
I believe I did a fairly accurate job of checking every chapter for
its highest verse, but I'm not confident that there are no errors.
So I would really appreciate if some of you could volunteer to check
my work. There aren't any particular technical requirements for
this, beyond being able to use a browser & a text editor.
There are twelve LXXs/translations for which I have collected data at
http://www.crosswire.org/svn/__sword-tools/trunk/__versification/lxx_v11ns/
<http://www.crosswire.org/svn/sword-tools/trunk/versification/lxx_v11ns/>
The source texts for each are listed in their .h files, near the
top. Most of the source texts are online, usually at Google Books
and/or Internet Archive. A couple are only available as printed
texts, and I quite understand if no one can check those.
In approximate order of what needs most urgent checking, we have:
canon_swete.h (Swete LXX)
canon_saas.h (Orthodox Study Bible OT -- print only)
canon_tischendorf.h (Tischendorf LXX)
canon_nets.h (NETS translation)
canon_brenton.h (Brenton translation)
canon_thomson.h (Thomson translation)
canon_asser.h (Asser translation)
canon_rahlfs.h (Rahlfs LXX)
canon_howard.h (Howard's LXX Pentateuch translation)
canon_ottley.h (Ottley's Cod. Alexandrinus Isaiah translation)
canon_charles.h (Charles' APOT)
canon_charlesworth.h (Charlesworth's OTP -- print only)
The only part that needs checking is the big vm array under the
"Maximum verses per chapter" comment. This looks something like:
int vm_brenton[] = {
// Genesis
31, 24, 25, 26, 31, 23, 24, 22, 29, 32,
32, 20, 18, 24, 21, 16, 27, 33, 38, 18,
34, 24, 20, 67, 34, 35, 46, 22, 35, 43,
55, 32, 20, 31, 29, 44, 35, 30, 23, 23,
57, 38, 34, 34, 28, 34, 31, 22, 33, 26,
The part that needs confirmation is that the highest verse in Gen
chapter 1 is 31, in chapter 2 it's 24, in chapter 3 it's 25, etc.
Chapter counts may vary slightly, but that's not important here, and
missing chapters should simply be recorded as having 0 verses.
If you would be willing to take on a volume, please claim it.
If you have suggestions of additional LXX editions or translations
that we should be certain we can represent, please suggest.
Thanks,
Chris
