BKC: part of image missing

[HansK]

This is not a Mac specific question.

In the Bible Knowledge Commentary (BKC) at 1 Kin 12:29-20 there is an image called Kings of Judah and Israel and the Preexilic Prophets. This image is missing a bit of the left part, not showing for example Micah and Isaiah.

See screenshot from another platform.

We'll have a fix for this soon. Be aware that you can right-click on something that needs a correction and select "Report a correction".

Yep, same here. Must have been cropped incorrectly when scanned.

[HansK]

Thanks for fixing this!

[Alistair]

OK. Why does such an excellent product as Accordance obviously is still have modules with cruddy scans taken out of printed books?

 

(And thanks for updating the chart.)

We're usually limited to what the publisher has available. I'm sure that's the case here. Often, with older works, a digital image simply isn't available. We dislike them as much as you do. In the case of BKC, it looks like other software publishers are using the same less-than-optimal images.

Oh the technology of the 1980's (when Bible Knowledge Commentary was created)—so much better than the technology of the 50's and 60's (but cars had chrome, tails, and fins) and so much less than technology today. I wonder if Linotype or offset printing was used for the BKC. Hmm, when did page markup for printing control begin to enter the mainstream? Enquiring minds want to know! ;-)

 

Shalom,
