Are there other publicly available hi-res scans of codices online? Codex Sinaiticus, Codex Alexandrinus, or Codex Vaticanus, for instance? I've seen some scattered images of other codices, but nothing of this size and quality, and not in their entireties.worthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00514748824277598086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6536854065433425156.post-67196297153892166632008-01-18T03:22:00.001-08:002008-01-18T03:22:00.001-08:00I don't know of any plans to publish a hard copy. ...I don't know of any plans to publish a hard copy. As far as I know, this is it. The only way to really work on a text is to work on the actual manuscript itself. But this is not possible for most of us. At least these high resolution photos gives all of us equal access to the manuscripts. The reason for the full-sized and high resolution photos is to see the ink traces around broken edges and to see the size of holes so we can postulate what letters are missing.April DeConickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06616757055618151612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6536854065433425156.post-90623619539685320372008-01-18T03:22:00.000-08:002008-01-18T03:22:00.000-08:00Dear g wesley - if you have access to image manipu...Dear g wesley - if you have access to image manipulation software (Photoshop, Paintshop Pro are two that you pay for, or The GIMP is free, but not perhaps too user friendly for someone without some reasonable computer skills) you can adjust the contrast to make the characters easier to see against the papyrus.Judy Redmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04350638846246966802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6536854065433425156.post-66861619734240047242008-01-17T16:28:00.000-08:002008-01-17T16:28:00.000-08:00Thank you for putting a bit of pressure on these g...Thank you for putting a bit of pressure on these guys so they would actually follow through with it!Nick Kigerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10874506643442301688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6536854065433425156.post-50858731330149397262008-01-17T16:05:00.000-08:002008-01-17T16:05:00.000-08:00the size and resolution of these images is wonderf...the size and resolution of these images is wonderful but the contrast between the papyrus and the ink seems to be greater in the photos in the critical edition. i think it's actually more difficult to make out the letters here. <BR/><BR/>professor deconick, do you know whether there are plans to publish a full-sized facsimile edition in hard copy? or is this it?g. wesleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17508058281719468732noreply@blogger.com
