LPHD: Visualizing Greek Papyri's Variants

Welcome to the website dedicated to the Data Visualizations of the LPHD (Lingüística Papirológica y Humanidades Digitales) project. It offers visualizations of linguistic variation, extracted from the orthographic "errors" commited by the scribes, that the TEI-XML edition in Papyri.info's collections annotates.

Currently, the LPHD project offers two main visualizations:

The Corpus search module allows you to browse the variants data by category and to obtained a refined subcorpus of its attestations, that can be filtered by:
- the Original form written by the scribe,
- the Regularized form annotated by the edition,
- the Variant type we extracted from the automatized comparison between both strings of characters,
- the Century as datation information we extracted from the metadata of the papyrus that contains the variant,
- the Papyrus ID (in DDbDP's format and linked to its full description using its TM's [Trismegistos] ID ),
- the Text Part, when applicable, and the Line references of the papyrus that contains the variant where it can be found,
- the position in the word of the Syllable (initial - middle - final), as well as the Scope inside said syllable (onset - nucleus - coda) where the variant is found,
- and, finally, the Search textual input (using Greek or Latin scripts) you may choose to query.
The Where are the variants? MAP module allows you to browse the spatio-temporal distribution for a selected category of variants.

You can find below an overview of the number of documents (individual papyri) which location and date were retrievable from their corresponding XML file(s).
