The complete 76 book text for the *Wycliffe Bible* is available on Wikisource at https:\\en.wikisource.org\wiki\Bible_(Wycliffe)
I have already converted the text to USFM and thence to OSIS XML. The text had not been altered since I previously captured the text in January 2014. Back then I merely stopped at USFM and never proceeded to the next stages. I'm using a modified copy of *wycliffe.py* that Chris created. My copy uses the file numbers from the *Identification* page in the *USFM User Reference*. We may have got a couple of book names wrong, but before I change anything at this stage, I am wondering how on earth we can make a module if we don't have a proper *versification* scheme for this work? Although Wycliffe's Bible was largely a translation from the Vulgate, using *Vulg* as the v11n with osis2mod gives far too many errors. It doesn't recognise these 3 books as valid osisIDs: * *EsthGr* (16 chapters) * *EpJer* (1 chapter) * *DanGr* (14 chapters) On top of that, there are 147 Appending entries in the log file. *EpJer* could be reversified as *Baruch 6*, but that still leaves the other two unrecognised books. Do we require a completely new *versification* and therefore must await a future SWORD release to proceed any further? If anyone would like to collaborate with me on this, you know how to contact me. If we could make a success of this together, it would supersede these two modules: * *Wycliffe* in CrossWire Main repo * *Wycliffe* in eBible.org repo (engWycliffe1395eb) Both of these have only the Pentateuch and Gospels.
