Nino-cunei ========== [![DOI](https://zenodo.org/badge/DOI/10.5281/zenodo.167956619.svg)](https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.2579207) Proto-cuneiform corpora in Text-Fabric -------------------------------------- This repo is a research environment for the study of cuneiform tablets. You can run your own programs off-line, and publish your work in online notebooks. Corpus ------ This repo contains transliterations of Old Babylonian letters (1900-1600 BC). The data is obtained from [CDLI](https://cdli.ucla.edu), the Cuneiform Digital Library Initiative. See also [about](docs/about.md) and [transcription](docs/transcription.md). Software -------- The main processing tool is [Text-Fabric](https://github.com/annotation/text-fabric/). It is instrumental to turn the analysis of ancient data into computing narratives. The ecosystem is Python and Jupyter notebooks. Getting started =============== Start with the [tutorial](https://nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/annotation/tutorials/blob/master/oldbabylonian/start.ipynb).
