Our Sunday evening Greek reading group finished Philippians, and we're moving on to Jonah. I'm looking for a version that I can print up for the group.
Ellopos has one version that looks pretty good, if I take just the Greek column and leave out the English. Is there a better text to use for this group?
Which Jonah?

Re: Which Jonah?
If I want something freely distributable, I think my choices basically boil down to:
1. Printing out the scans of Swete, nice edition, low quality
2. Printing out Rahlfs or Brenton
Is that about right? If I have to pick 2, I'm guessing good quality punctuation and diacritics may determine whose version I use.

Re: Which Jonah?
I tend to use Hancock's version of Rahlfs because it is easier to manipulate, since it is already in Word .doc format.

Have you seen the German Bible Society's online Bibles? Here's the book of Jonah.Jonathan Robie wrote:Our Sunday evening Greek reading group finished Philippians, and we're moving on to Jonah. I'm looking for a version that I can print up for the group.

Re: Which Jonah?
As far as I can tell, the differences between Hancock's version and the Bible Society's version are in the encoding of accented capital letters (whether precomposed-Hancock or decomposed-Bible Society), and in the encoding of the apostrophe (1FBD-Bible Society or 2019-Hancock). Hancock is preferable in both cases.

I use the Rahlfs LXX from Linguists Software; standard basic edition.
