About & status
What is here
| Calendar engine (any date, 1583-9999) | Complete: runs in your browser from the calgen rules of the Tonatsoyts. Rules not yet demonstrated are labelled provisional; open questions are shown (Lenten Saturdays, the Elijah / St Gregory fast days). |
|---|---|
| Hymnal (Krapar Sharagnots + scan supplement) | 116 verified Krapar sections plus 812 supplement sections from the 1888 Sharagnots (8497 stanzas), each with a button to the printed scan page. |
| English scripture | Canonical books: ESV, loaded live in your browser from the ACHR website's scripture service (Crossway text under the church's licence; not stored on this site), with the same reading introductions and human-read Crossway audio. If that service is unreachable a link to BibleGateway is shown. Apocrypha (Wisdom, Judith, Baruch, Maccabees, Prayer of Azariah): RSVCE cached here. |
| Armenian reading text (Jashots) | 94.1% of citations; AI-assisted transcription of the printed Jashots, proofreading in progress. |
| AI English translations of hymns | 8497 stanzas translated so far (labelled 'AI translation (Claude)', not reviewed by a person). |
| Scripture audio | Hosted in a separate repository; readings without a clip show 'audio pending'. |
AI-generated and machine-assisted content
- Hymn English translations: 'AI translation (Claude)'.
- Five non-biblical lections: 'English translation: AI generated'.
- All scripture audio: AI-generated speech (ElevenLabs).
- Armenian Jashots and Sharagnots text: AI-assisted transcription of the printed scans, checked against a typed Unicode text; the printed scan is the source of truth.
Sources
- Calendar rules: the Tonatsoyts (Hador 1 and 2), implemented as the calgen rules engine. English commemoration names: published forms (Vemkar / ACHR) where available, otherwise 'composed' and marked.
- Hymnal: frharoutiun/Armenian-Church-Tools (Krapar Sharagnots) and the Unicode text of the 1888 Etchmiadzin Sharagnots supplied by Fr Ghevond Ajemian, anchored to our scan of the printed book.
- Scripture: English Standard Version via the ACHR website's scripture service (as on achrct.org); RSVCE (BibleGateway) for the Apocrypha only. Armenian: Jashots (Ճաշոց).
- Transliteration: the parish Maroon Book convention (TR).
Known limitations
- Some calendar rules are provisional or open; 30% of days have readings that match the published lists only partly. Treat the day page as a working reference, not an official ordo.
- Some hymns appointed by the Tonatsoyts link only ambiguously or not at all to the Sharagnots; they are labelled.
- Scan highlights are estimates and can be a few lines off.
- English scripture text and audio for some readings are still being added.
