Normalized Datasets of Harnack’s Reconstruction of Marcion’s 'Gospel'

Abstract

These two datasets are the first born-digital, normalized, peer-reviewed datasets of Harnack’s classic reconstruction of Marcion’s 'Gospel'. The first consists of human-readable postclassical Greek, the second of lemmatized and morphologically tagged text following the openly licensed BibleWorks Greek Morphology schema. The recent deluge of critical editions of Marcion’s 'Gospel' makes Harnack’s public domain work even more relevant as scholars turn from theology- to text-based approaches to restore Marcion’s 'Gospel' and account for its place in the editorial history of early canonical and non-canonical Gospels. These datasets resource Marcion’s 'Gospel' becoming a major topic of interest in Computational Linguistics research.
