During that period, the team traced the registration of all foreign tourists who had visited on the day when the Tamil Bible was stolen – October 7, 2015. In 2017, a fresh investigation was started by the Idol Wing CID. However, the investigation did not reveal anything. For instance:Ġ1001001 - 02001005 would capture all verses between Genesis 1:1 through Exodus 1:5.In 2005, a complaint about the missing Bible was filed in the Thanjavur West station. The verse-id system is used for faster, simplified queries.

Each verse is accessed by a unique key, the combination of the BOOK+CHAPTER+VERSE id. Please read the comments in the code defore customizing.Īfter a long analysis, I decided to use verse ID system of scrollmapper/bible_databases. The complete list can be found in bibleConfig.php Unicode characters like ❮, ⁾, ₎, ␢, ⦃ and many others are used in the verses stored in the database to enable us to format the verses properly. Please note that if your server does not allow you to create views, then follow the instructions at noviews.md.

SQL database, preferably MySQL (but works with many others too).

PHP 5.4+ and PDO extension (Installed by default).

The logic to highlight red letter verses is in the code and not in the database (see redletter.php).

Options to enable Red letter version of the bible is added.

Unlike other online Tamil Bibles, poems and quotations are displayed as they are in the print edition (that is they are formatted like poems and not like paragraphs).

A PHP library to access and retrieve information.

The bible that is used for this purpose is the 2012 edition.Ī live demo is available here. More specifically poems and quotations to resemble the print edition. The aim of this project is to make online Tamil Bible resemble as much as possible to the print edition. This is a project to maintain Tamil Ecumenical Bible in Unicode.
