NuBerea/synthesis

A cross-corpus synthesis layer for the study of early Jewish and Christian literature. Each config joins pericope-level text units from one corpus — the canonical Bible (Old and New Testament), Second Temple Pseudepigrapha, the Aramaic Targumim, the Nag Hammadi corpus, or Greek and Latin patristic authors — with rhetorical claims extracted from those units and with links into a shared concept vocabulary. The result is a set of per-corpus tables that let a researcher move between what a passage says, the argumentative claim it advances, and the theological concepts it engages.

The intended audience is scholars of biblical studies, Second Temple Judaism, Gnosticism, and patristics who want claim- and concept-level views over these corpora without reassembling the underlying text pipelines themselves. Config names are corpus-prefixed so the namespace is self-explanatory. The full technical specification (schemas, join contracts, per-config detail, provenance) is available in the gated SPEC.md alongside this card.
