From tradition to the printed page
Each band is one translation or reading tradition. It runs from the community and language that produced it, through the strategy it uses, to the word a reader actually sees. Drag the timeline to watch practices appear century by century. The sample is small and editorial, so read it as an illustration of strategies, not a census.

Time axis is compressed before 1500 so that ancient and modern items both stay readable. Click anywhere on it to move the cut-off.
Hover or click a band, column or point to see the translations behind it.
Colours on this page show translation strategy, not evidence tier. Each row's verification status is on the Renderings page. Dates are first publication or the edition cited there.
