# NuBerea/secondary-sources

Second Temple Jewish secondary sources in Greek: the complete extant Greek
corpora of **Flavius Josephus** (Jewish Antiquities, Jewish War, Vita, Contra
Apionem) and **Philo of Alexandria** (all 31 works), segmented for scholarly
text-retrieval and lexical-semantic study. These two first-century authors are
the principal non-biblical Jewish witnesses to the Second Temple period and its
milieu, and this repository serves as the Second Temple companion corpus to the
NuBerea patristic and apocryphal collections.

Alongside the base texts, the repository carries derived linguistic-analysis
layers over the same corpora. Because the underlying editions are licensed
share-alike, everything here — text and derivatives alike — ships under
**CC BY-SA 4.0**. The full technical specification (schemas, per-config
detail, provenance) is available in the gated `SPEC.md` alongside this card.
