A general visualization
Today's blog entry is just a quick graphical overview of the work done so far.
In the following GIF animation the connections between the LXX (in yellow) and SBLGNT
(in cyan) books are shown.
An edge connecting two books means that there is at least one
verified quotation in the SBLGNT book, quoted from the LXX book.
If an edge is labeled with a number, then multiple verified quotations exist.
“Verified” means manual verification here.

This figure was created with the
GraphViz
program. The first versions
did not use manual positioning of the nodes. Instead, some random positions
were introduced by GraphViz. Those first figures were too chaotic for
the first glance – thus I decided to
fix the positions to communicate
a systematic layout of the books in this presented version.
In the figure, certain nodes are lighter: they play a role among the quotations.
Non-cited LXX books or SBLGNT books that do not contain a verified quotation
are colored somewhat darker.
Some people may find the animation annoying. For them I provide
a static version with all connections (with dotted lines) shown at the same time:
