EA-CORPORA-34 — The Thirty-Fourth Seating

The author asked for the seating on 2026-11-05: "also - lets gather up and seat the sources we'll need for this one prior to writing. still under rebekah cranes for the ea-corpora, and with reference to the research occasion"

The research occasion is Secondary Source, the reception study of how the Apocalypse came to be received as derivative, secondary and marginal (design v0.3, drafts/SECONDARY-SOURCE-design-2026-11-05.md, not deposited). Its §5 lists the debts the study must read in seat before drafting; these eleven seats carry them, in the languages the texts were written in. The fathers come from the First1KGreek TEI and from public editions on the Internet Archive; the catalogues of the fourth century are read in Westcott's appendix of the original texts; the Western counter-witness to the Byzantine lectionary is the Fourth Council of Toledo in the Collectio Hispana; the Reformation is held in the 1522 September Testament and Erasmus's Annotationes; the critics run from Vischer (1886) to Charles (1920).

Version 1.1 adds four seats (34/12–34/15), at the operator's words of 2026-11-05: "we should also be tracking material manuscript transmission and succession, that seems particularly important with revelation and less-often and -critically studied than pure reception" (11:02 EST), and "lets bundle the 35 sources with 34 and version in place - theyre of a piece" (11:11 EST). They carry the study's fifth count, carriage: what materially carries the book and from what each carrier descends. Erasmus made the Apocalypse of 1516 from one manuscript lent by Reuchlin, in which text and commentary were mixed; its last verses were wanting, and he supplied them from the Latin. Delitzsch found that manuscript again in 1861; Tregelles and Scrivener trace what it became in the printed text; Erasmus's 1516 printing is seated as the witness.

Declared and not pursued (commons only): Metzger 1987, Hahneman 1992 and the Weimar Ausgabe Deutsche Bibel 7 (in copyright); Zwingli's Sämtliche Werke (access-restricted at the Archive); Hoskier, Concerning the Text of the Apocalypse (1929), its term unclear. The Greek of Cyril's Catecheses, of Gregory of Nazianzus's Carmina and of Amphilochius's Iambi is read in Westcott's appendix, no public TEI of them being reachable in session.

How the seats were made

Every seat was fetched in session and hashed into its MANIFEST.sha256, with a source.json recording edition, origin, licence, normalization, the loci verified in the text layer, and the research the seat was made for. The builders are under rebuild/corpora/ea-corpora-34/: gen_spec34.py writes the specs of 34/01–34/11 and gen_spec34_carriage.py those of 34/12–34/15, build34.py builds each seat, fix_loci34.py gives the Greek loci in the code points of the seated TEI (which is not in NFC), index_seats34.py enters the seats in the index, and body34.py writes this body.
