Upgrade of the Unicode/XML Westminster Leningrad Codex

Post by cvkimball »

The Unicode/XML Westminster Leningrad Codex site at

<http://www.tanach.us/Tanach.xml>

has been upgraded to Build 24.2. The Hebrew text remains the same.

The Westminster Leningrad Codex (WLC) is a digital representation of the Leningrad Codex (LC, Firkovich B 19 A) in the Russian National Library (Saltykov-Shchedrin), St. Petersburg. Occasionally, controversy arises about the fidelity of the WLC to the LC. In order to demonstrate this fidelity and resolve controversies, the site has been updated to offer an option to view a facsimile of the LC page corresponding to any text selected in the WLC.

The option requires that your browser allow pop-up windows and be capable of viewing PDF files.

See the <http://www.tanach.us/Pages/Facsimiles.html> page for details.

Viewers should clear their browser caches before trying to use the new feature.

Please advise if you have problems or suggestions.
