NuBerea Vulgate Latin Dependency Parse Primitives

Morphological and syntactic annotation layer for the Latin Vulgate Bible (Clementine edition), covering both Old and New Testaments. The dataset provides sentence segmentation, word-level morphology, and Universal Dependencies-style dependency parses of the Vulgate text, produced with the Stanza NLP toolkit and refined with hand-curated corrections (proper-noun lemma resolution and lemmatization fixes). A companion lexical mapping relates Latin lemmas to Strong's concordance numbers.

These primitives support computational study of the Vulgate as a translation witness — Latin syntax and lexicon in relation to the Hebrew and Greek source traditions — within the broader NuBerea corpus of biblical-studies datasets. Full schemas and build documentation are available in the gated SPEC.md.
