Last year I learned about Logios, a new OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology for polytonic Greek, when I read the paper that was published about it here. The paper claimed a high rate of accuracy in transcription, which intrigued me, and I finally decided recently to try my hand at setting it up. I'll refrain…
Editing the Translation and a Request for Help
(I am posting my interactive Editing Progress Report here at the top so readers can easily find it. See also my cry for help at the bottom of the email.) As I had said in my previous post, I spent the last few days creating a report, like I had done for my translation progress,…
The Project Recommences
I am back to working on this project. I had said that I was taking a break back in August, but then actually finished the first round of editing in late October, I believe, though without mentioning it on this site. My uninterrupted break, then, lasted about five full months. Since re-starting, my efforts have…
Taking a Short Break
This short post is just to say that I have been taking a much needed break from this project for about the last two months. I have not edited my translation since around the time of my last post so that I can recharge by focusing on other meaningful (and much smaller) projects and actually…
Completed Publications of Commentaries of Euthymius Zigabenus and Progress on Editing
The editing of Euthymius Zigabenus' Commentary on Paul's Epistles is coming along slowly and steadily. I am about to start on Hebrews, which is the last of the commentaries that need to be looked at. As of right now I have a little over 25% of the verses already edited that need to be reworked…
Progress on the Editing of the Translation
I had begun editing my translation of Euthymius Zigabenus' Commentary on the Epistles of Paul sometime after the middle of November, but I was lazy to write a post about it. My daily quota currently is to edit 10 verses of Paul per day (there are 2322 verses in total); if there are no corrections…
Plan to Start Editing the Translation
My original plan was to take a few days off after finishing the translation at the end of August before beginning to edit, but things did not go as I planned. It has been two months and I have yet to start, partly because I have been enjoying working on other things and partly because…
First Draft of Euthymius Zigabenus’ Commentary on the Epistles of Paul – Completed
After about two years and four months of diligence, the first draft of the translation of Euthymius Zigabenus' Commentary on the Epistles of Paul is completed. I finished the last bit of it on August 28th, and told myself that I should take at least a week off to enjoy doing something else, both to…
The Biography of Nikiforos Kalogeras is Finally Completed
The translation of the biography of Nikiforos Kalogeras is finally completed. It has been a portion of this project that had tormented me for almost two years. If my records serve me correctly, I finished translating the first draft on October 18, 2022 (a failed attempt to have it completed prior to the anniversary of…
Commentary on the Epistles of Paul to Titus and Philemon – Completed
The first draft of the translation of Euthymius Zigabenus' Commentary on the Epistles of Paul is almost complete. In the last week I quickly started and finished off Titus and Philemon. According to my Translation Progress Report, I am 87% of the way done, with only the commentary on Hebrews left to do. A trip…
