Michael Miles Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 I would love to see Ginsburg's 4 volume collation of the Massorah in Accordance. I happen to have two sets here, one of which has bad binding and I'm in the process of carefully disassembling the set and am scanning them on a very nice A3 format UMAX PowerLook 2100XL SCSI scanner using VueScan under Linux. I can go up to 800 DPI with this setup. I aim to produce a very clear set of scans so that Ginsburg's Massorah is available for anyone that cares to use it in study. If it were available in Accordance then the front matter that KTAV publishing added that was authored by Professor Aron Dotan in 1975 would also be available, as I just completed an email exchange with the folks at KTAV and they would like payment for any work that includes this front matter, so I plan on distributing my scans without it and just as Dr. Ginsburg sold the volumes to his subscribers in the late 1800s. I can supply the scans to Accordance as I process them as the work is rather large and would take some time. Accordance could include Professor Dotan's front matter, if so desired, and work out a deal with KTAV for the rights to distribute that front matter that was added by KTAV in 1975. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Miles Posted September 5, 2019 Author Share Posted September 5, 2019 I ran a bunch of sample scans today and parked a few of them in a shared OneDrive folder here: https://1drv.ms/u/s!Ao59EuP01Y23vRuSoD1jFGaOKdBY?e=asYk1k The higher the scanning resolution, the larger the file sizes. I'm not sure what works good for OCR work. Please PM me if interested. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Miles Posted September 19, 2019 Author Share Posted September 19, 2019 (edited) I started on volume 4 of the 4 volume work as it is the only volume in English and am posting 300dpi scans on the OneDrive folder. Please feel free to download them and make use of them as you see fit. You can O.C.R. them and post them on your website if you'd care to. You can make a font to match the letters with tagin/crowns that you will find. I just want to get the work out of the basement and back into the light of scholarship and get it back into use by those that understand the work of the Masoretes and how the meaning of the Hebrew scriptures are locked into place by their notes in several places.I have multiple projects on my plate and I am scanning the Massorah a single page at a time with each page taped down to the glass on the scanner and then scanned at 300dpi and then afterwards again at 800dpi. If anyone has need of the 800dpi scans please PM me as I only have the 300dpi scans in a public facing OneDrive folder. Thank you Edited September 19, 2019 by Michael Miles 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
