Those who visit our web page (http://paths.uniroma1.it) might be disappointed because at the moment there are no freely usable data.
We would like to point out, however, that we are working hard to make appear as soon as possible at least part of our scientific results. As you can easily imagine, the Atlas is what takes more time and will be the last ‘product’ to appear, at least in its final and complete aspect.
Meanwhile, you can have an idea of the status of advancement of our work by means of the summary table below, which will be progressively updated.

Manuscripts

Literature

The mark-up of literary texts in order to identify cultural orientations and places of creation has been tested on a selection of texts, , already published and freely usable: https://github.com/paths-erc/coptic-texts.
