Una presentazione di due recenti strumenti per la ricerca biblica: Analytical Lexicon of the Greek Bible e A Complete Concordance to the Greek Bible1

The presentation wishes to present two new tools for biblical studies, both of them dealing with the Greek Bible: Analytical Lexicon of the Greek Bible and A Complete Concordance to the Greek Bible. The biblical text covered by these two tools is consisted of the Old Testament in Greek, including so called parallel texts and New Testament. All of them represent critical editions of the part of the Bible: Biblia Graeca. Septuaginta, id est Vetus Testamentum graece iuxta LXX interpretes edidit Alfred Rahlfs, edition altera quam recognovit et emandavit Robert Hanhart; Nestle-Aland Novum Testamentum Graece, 28 revidierte Auflage, Deutsche Bibelgesellschaft, Stuttgart 2013. The first tool, the Lexicon, printed in three volumes and as an online PDF version in a single file. In order to facilitate the research, the tool is using colours for the sets of the biblical texts: green for Septuagint, red for parallel texts and blue for the New Testament. The distinguishing feature is the number of occurrences of every lexical form, still using the abovementioned colours. The second tool, the Concordance, is only in PDF edition because of its size. All words are arranged according to the Greek alphabet, and the alphabetical order covers both the searched word and its immediate and bilateral context. Although the previous concordances were also arranged alphabetically, the verses with a specific word were given according to the biblical canon. In this Concordance, both the words and the verses have been arranged alphabetically. Each word is listed in its preceding and following context, using the same colours of the part of the biblical texts as it is in the Lexicon. As a result, one can immediately find biblical quotations, paraphrases and other similar passages on the same topic. Since this is a textual concordance, all words are given in their textual forms.
