# Bereshit / In Principio — Genesis 1:1–5 argument graph

Structured argument graph, not running prose: 10 cruxes, 292 witnesses, 456 threads across Latin, rabbinic and Greek-Jewish benches. One JSON document.

Canonical home: https://bereshit.wrootpress.com (each record carries its canonical URL). This dataset is a machine-generated export of that site's build, regenerated from the source of truth and never hand-edited; the site remains the one published address of the text.

## Licence

This edition's own work is **CC BY 4.0**; some components carry their own third-party licences (see Credits). Machine-learning training, fine-tuning, evaluation and retrieval — including commercial model development — are explicitly permitted under those terms: keep the attribution and say if you changed the text. Full terms: https://bereshit.wrootpress.com/colophon

## Credits

Latin: Patrologia Latina via Corpus Corporum. Hebrew/Aramaic and English: Sefaria, several under CC BY-SA (share-alike applies to those). Greek: Cohn 1896 via First1KGreek. Check each witness's own licence field.

## How the English was made

English text was drafted with LLM assistance and checked against the source; the verification procedure and what has and has not been checked are described on the site's rights / about pages. Treat it as a careful working translation, not a critical edition.
