Abstract
This paper investigates how we can use topic modelling to characterize and place four apocryphal, i.e. non-canonical, “Acts stories” in a corpus of ancient Greek texts. In the research field of New Testament Apocrypha, there remains uncertainty concerning the classification of apocryphal text The analysis serves the purpose of creating a structured ontology to be used in classifying New Testament Apocrypha. We attempt to show that topic modelling can be a viable tool in classifying and characterizing these texts. The results show that a) our four target texts of non-canonical “Acts stories” are ambiguous and multifaceted in their topical distribution compared to other texts in the corpus, and b) that topic modelling is a viable tool in this analysis.
