Michael Miles Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 I'd like to see the James Moffatt Translation of the Bible available as an Accordance module. This translation has been in my personal print library for years and I believe that it is a generally ignored and underrated work by an extremely gifted translator. Using it alongside other English translations often results in many eye opening moments that usually result in a healthy digging session in the original languages. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alistair Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 I believe Moffat's is the only Bible translation to make reference to 'bagpipes,' can anyone confirm that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Miles Posted October 15, 2012 Author Share Posted October 15, 2012 I believe Moffat's is the only Bible translation to make reference to 'bagpipes,' can anyone confirm that? Yes, in Daniel chapter 3 you will find reference to bagpipes. Here is a link with the word bagpipes highlighted - http://books.google.com/books?id=oZfnVGt4j7MC&pg=PA964&lpg=PA964&dq=moffatt+bible+bagpipes&source=bl&ots=hoRmAB7xvi&sig=oSDC7tqAT_e_CYsucS5HPa0wPhc&hl=en&sa=X&ei=WFZ8UPeoK-muiAKI6oHgDQ&ved=0CB0Q6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=moffatt%20bible%20bagpipes&f=false Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Miles Posted November 28, 2014 Author Share Posted November 28, 2014 I'm back again to suggest the James Moffatt Translation of the Bible as an Accordance module. It's a very interesting translation, especially for study in the Minor Prophets. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsmorris Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 I, too, would like to see the Moffatt translation added. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabian Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 I only saw the New Testament from James Moffat as e-text. First question: Do you have found a full Bible? Second question: How interested are you? Third question: Are you interested enough to do an OCR of this Bible? The NT is done you'll find a lot e-texts. If you are enough interrested then I would suggest to buy Abbyy FineReader 15 for Windows. This is much more sophisticated. There you can have the OCR as overlay to the PDF and the unknown characters are very fast to correct. The Mac version is years behind. Fourth question: Is Accordance willing to do this in their store? I saw in the Logos Forum there are also some requests. Maybe there have someone done an e-text.

Michel Gilbert Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 The print version is still available, e.g., at https://www.amazon.com/Bible-Containing-Old-New-Testaments/dp/0060657782/ref=pd_sbs_14_img_1/141-1257411-6500847?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=0060657782&pd_rd_r=1405bec5-be0e-4f89-8429-c7886582ce20&pd_rd_w=osp19&pd_rd_wg=Kf15y&pf_rd_p=5cfcfe89-300f-47d2-b1ad-a4e27203a02a&pf_rd_r=ASF1XDF70ZBWCB530P5N&psc=1&refRID=ASF1XDF70ZBWCB530P5N Moffat was a member of the 1946 RSV translation team, and I've read that many alterations of the ASV reflect his own translation.

Alistair Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 I'm finding PDFpenPro from Smile software does a good job of OCR on the Mac. You can toggle the invisible OCR layer, and re-OCR individual pages or the complete document. It's a competent replacement for Acrobat Pro 11 (the last non-subscription version released by Adobe).

Mark Allison Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Let me know if any of you find a digital version of the complete text. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alistair Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 (edited) I've had a search but couldn't find one. I saw something about a Moffat Bible page on Facebook, but haven't checked it out. It may still be under copyright. Edit: the Facebook page has nothing to do with the Bible. The complete Bible appears to be published by Cokesbury. And/or Kregel. Originally in London by Hodder and Stoughton, 1935, and in New York by Harper, 1935. Edited October 21, 2019 by Alistair 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
