Even better than per-book versification, I think that per-translation
versification makes more sense. That way, no change to the code would
need to be made to tweak the versification yet again. No matter how many
versifications we define, someone will find or invent another one.

Can I recommend revamp to support an additional 'BOOK' level
versification. This would pretty much eliminate the need for (yet)
another versification system, if each book rather than module could
name its own versification.
So for Cyrille's example the module is 'catholic' (for all 70ish)
books, but Esther is book versified to 'cath2' or whatever already
matches it.

Hello,
Recently a person interested in the Catholic bible in French told me
about the mapping problems between Catholic versification and the
kjva
concerning Esther. So I'm bringing up the question of a new Catholic
versification that could better deal with this kind of problem and at
the same time incorporate some of the errors in current Catholic
versifications. I should mention that two versifications for French
Bibles have been added since my proposal for a new Catholic
versification, which was made long before these versifications were
added, and which was not favorably received at the time. In our case,
the number of Bibles that follow this versification is simply
enormous,
since the majority of Catholic Bibles do. I would also add that
the LXX
versification is not entirely correct. There are no LXX today that
put
16 chapters to Esther. Ralph's already uses letters to integrate
Greek
passages into the text.
In fact, Catholic versification simply follows Ralph's. So I suggest
that we seriously reopen this question with concrete suggestions.
For my part, the suggestion is simple: convert the numbers in the
Greek
passages into verses and offset the numbered verses in the same
chapters. I'll copy you on what that might look like.
