I don't want to deal with modern Greek lowercase, there is no good reason to learn it to study the Bible, where are any modules using the original all caps Greek? And does anyone know of any text files with all the Greek in caps from Codex B or some other totally or near complete NT or OT?

Please email me if so too in case ai forget to come back here email cheetalynx at gmail com

It's not an e-Sword Bible module, but you could download the Adobe .PDF file from this URL:

The Original Greek have not only All Caps but also without spaces between the words.
Except if you understand fluent Greek is there no point to do this and All Caps letters make it harder to link to the dictionaries.

Codex B is full of corrections: so if you want to study Codex B without bias then need you pictures.
And understand the symbols for corrections and the Nomina Sacra (Sacred Names).


There are 2 possible solutions for the orthography problem in e-Sword:
1) Get a font that "read" Greek minicules letters as Caps letters (this is the best solution for the orthography problem).
But letters with accents are still a problem.
My Greek Bible modules use only minicules letters (without accents) and is the easiest to "read" of all the Greek modules here.

2) Edit a module and remove accents(if there are accents) and replace each of the 24 letters).
But the shape of the modern Greek caps letters is not the same as that of the first Century.
There is no Unicode solution.

The text is too long: so to you need to split it in 5 or more parts.

You think I asked in ignorance so need to tell me what I have asked for has no spaces? Do I sound new? Don't be ChatGPT. But thanks, KATOGGPT.

Modern Greek sucks for Bible study, and the spaces are for newbies.

The problem is that only Modern Greek Caps letters fonts are available in the small Greek letter block.

There aren't any. All academic Greek resources for both at Seminary/University and Bible College study don't go down that road, and haven't done so in donkey ages. So for you to be able to get a hold of something like that, you'd be scratching the bottom of the metaphorical barrel.

Tends to show both arrogance and snobbery on your part. You assume and expect that he should or ought to know what your qualifications and etc are; when in reality he or anyone doesn't know you from a bar of soap. My sincere suggestion is for you to get off your high horse and act in a more contrite manner, and with humility. It just might endear you more toward others. Showing a bit of a friendly attitude goes a long way.

 

I recommend you get a hold of Dale Carnegie's Book, "How to Win Friends and Influence People."
