# 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.
