This dataset is developed as part of the CACCHT project, which is a collaboration of Martijn Naaijer, Christian Canu Højgaard, Martin Ehrensvärd, Robert Rezetko, Oliver Glanz, and Willem van Peursen. The goal of CACCHT is to prepare and publish ancient Semitic texts digitally, that can be used for research and education.

Software

The main processing tool is Text-Fabric. It is instrumental to turn the analysis of ancient data into computing narratives.

The ecosystem is Python and Jupyter notebooks.
