M. Plumley,An Introductory Coptic Grammar. This grammar is referenced frominterlinear translations of Marcionto paragraphs corresponding with individual morphs. It dealsexclusively with Sahidic dialect of Coptic language. The hypertextversion originates from the famous Metalogos[↓links↓]of Patterson Brown, who transcribed it from a handwriting (which can befound on Metalogos too) and edited it to the current form. Anotherhighly recommended tools are „A Coptic grammar“ by Bentley Layton(Sahidic dialect) and „A compendious grammar of the Egyptian language“by H. Tattam (more dialects, contained in Marcion).AnIntroductory Coptic Grammartranslations from Coptic languageMarciondisposes by a tool designed for to creating interlineartranslations of Nag Hammadi codices (and any other Coptic text of anydialect available in utf8 unicode character set) from Coptic language,which parses the original text into sentences and subsequently to wordsand it is able to identify individual lexems and morphs due to thecoherence of a dictionary, a grammar and a database of grammaticalentities. Although the translator works well and the database containsa sufficient amount of entries, a work with it is still difficult andconsumes a lot of time, so translations grows up slowly. A main goal ofthe project was to create a collection of translations of Nag HammadiLibrary texts together with a referential system reciprocallycomprising the gnostic and the early christian literature in a deepersignificance, but only one small step is done yet. The translator andthe translations needs a many improvements. Nevertheless, the workcontinues and I hope that new translations will to be created.Pistis SophiaThe Pistis Sophia (Askew Codex) transscribed into the utf8 unicode character set.Pistis SophiaCoptic ApocryphaCoptic Apocrypha in the dialect of Upper Egypt.browseGreek and Coptic unicode fontsMarcion allows to change Coptic, Greek, Latinand Hebrew fonts to any preferred unicodefont (in the case that a non-unicode font is chosen, the applicationproduces invalid results).
