R. Mansfield Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Have you discovered the treasure trove of user-created content at the Accordance Exchange? Ken Simpson will tell you all about it and recommend a resource that will completely change your Range Searches in Accordance. See Ken’s post on the Accordance Blog. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hunt Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Yes I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TYA Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 (edited) I have taken a look, and am grateful that such a thing exists. It definitely seems to offer good potential for future projects as well--things that don't make it into Accordance' official pipeline. At this point, I haven't yet installed anything, but may get around to doing so soon. Thanks, Rick! Edited November 28, 2018 by TYA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R. Mansfield Posted November 29, 2018 Author Share Posted November 29, 2018 And feel free to submit content! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Voth Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 It has been awhile since checking it out, but I do have some and thanks to those for making these resources available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TYA Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 (edited) And feel free to submit content! I've just now submitted three User-Bible files, which are transcribed manuscripts from the Peshitta Syriac tradition of the apostles' writings ("NT"). These will be of particular value to any who are interested in textual criticism of Aramaic / Syriac versions of Scripture (i.e. looking closer at variants, instead of just relying on a critical edition, which Accordance currently uses). My submission is with explicit permission of the copyright holder, and I've added my own write-ups on the modules, since I formatted them for Accordance, specifically.

See Ken’s post on the Accordance Blog. Terrific. I just installed this new file, and it works great. Thanks for making these available. (And I'm grateful for the Jewish touch too Note for Windows users: The folder "AppData" in the filepath C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\Accordance\Accordance Preferences is likely to be a hidden folder, so if you don't find it, open "Folder and search options" and select "View," and then "Show hidden folders and files."

Thanks for making these available! I think Ken just hasn’t made them available yet. Although Ken runs our Accordance Exchange site, in his “day job,” he’s an actual medical doctor! I assume that keeps him pretty busy :-) I’ll send him an email and let him know folks are anxious to download the new Bibles. And thank you for posting them, TYA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for making these available! Yes, as Rick noted, I just submitted them, so they simply haven't been approved yet. I'll stick with the process here, as there should be no problem.

Fabian Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Yes I have too. I give a look every 2-3 months. But I wait till Accordance support more of my wishes as I have mentioned in the Feature Requests to give free to download. Greetings Fabian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TYA Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 (edited) as I have mentioned in the Feature Requests to give free to download. I'm a little confused by this. What do you mean by "give free to download"? Aren't the resources on the Exchange free to download already? Edited December 2, 2018 by TYA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabian Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Sorry my English is not on the highest level. Maybe still a comma is missing to distinguish between ... I have done a lot of feature requests for User Tools, User Bibles etc. which are not implemented today. But I don't want give some User Tools to the Exchange as a (free) download, if I'm not satisfied with the result. Greetings Fabian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgvh Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 2018.12.03 Update: I see that the 3 Peshitta mss have now been posted at the Exchange here. Note that to get them into Accordance you need to use the File > User Files > Import Bible Text. (I.e., they are not simply the double-click module to install.) Also note that there is a helpful Word Doc accompanying the text explaining not only matters related to the text but how best to use it in Accordance. These Peshitta mss are most useful if you do also have the Accordance Peshitta Add-on package. Thank you again to @TYA for providing these texts!

(I.e., they are not simply the double-click module to install. Correct, and as the "Instructions" file (included in the zip folder) indicates, you will want to import all of these with "Peshitta NT-Tagged" versification. If, however, you have trouble with versification once installed, feel free to reach out to me with a private message here in the forum. Also note that there is a helpful Word Doc... Yes, definitely read that. I wrote that up myself with permission to post these texts on the Exchange to make it easier for Accordance users. I do suggest recommended usage for Accordance in that document, and there is specific information about each manuscript. These Peshitta mss are most useful if you do also have the Accordance Peshitta Add-on package. Yes, I recommend this wonderful package from Accordance--one of my personal favorites, and well-made. Thank you again to @TYA for providing these texts! I thank G-d. Also, I am submitting today another Peshitta text to the Exchange, which will hopefully be available soon. Keep your eye out for that.

Dr. Nathan Parker Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 I've used it in the past but need to check in again and load up on everything I've missed since then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
