The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

By providing the first multilingual resource with sufficient depth per language for flexible, multilevel analysis, the corpus fills a gap in the quantitative study of translation history.

C2weakest assumption

The assumption that translations aggregated from 12 online libraries can be accurately canonicalized with metadata for work, edition, and year to enable reliable definitions of uniqueness without significant errors or omissions.

C3one line summary

Targum provides 334 unique New Testament translations in English, French, Italian, Polish, and Spanish, offering substantially greater depth per language than existing corpora for multilevel translation history research.
