John

A composition is a work (ruling WORK-1): every version of it that is served here is a witness, listed below in rule order. One standard witness (★) is what a reader sees first, chosen by rule WORK-2 — not a stub › complete › share-safe (public = attribution, WORK-5) › typed over OCR › dialect (Bohairic first for the Bible and the Liturgy, else the dialect the composition was written in) › Yousef Hanna's own › SCRIPTORIUM-annotated › gold › longest; a ruled standard overrides the rule. This site applies its share gate first and then the same rule, so the standard here is the best share-safe witness. A witness may be a part of a container file (an edition holding several works, WORK-9): its line range is named and its page shows only that range.

Standard witness: ★ Coptic SCRIPTORIUM — by rule: 5. dialect (Bohairic first: Bible shelf): bohairic over John :: sahidic.sahidica (sahidic)

The standard witness: 14,360 words; all 6 witnesses served: 200,531 words.

9 further copies not served: 1 whose publisher restricts reuse; 3 whose terms forbid reuse; 5 whose rights are not yet verified.
