# Dead Sea Scrolls in Text-Fabric

This repo is a research environment for the study of the Dead Sea Scrolls.
You can run your own programs off-line, and publish your work in online notebooks.

# Corpus

This repo contains transcriptions of biblical and
non-biblical scrolls based on the data files of
Martin Abegg.

[feature documentation](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.
