Now those comments show just how much you guys know about the Bible. The 10 Commandments are in the Old Testament. But Bodvar is working on the New Testament. The NT writers used pen and paper, incidently. Bibles, whether you are translating or formatting the pages, are especially challenging work.

If you want to see an ambitious project, browse through http://www.saintjohnsbible.org/. In the public TV documentary, I recall that it took a heck of a long time, a lot of gifted folks working a lot of hours, days, years, and a bunch of bucks to produce the original replica. Somewhere along the line it's been published to pages, but I don't think they used an EDDG. Good wishes and luck to Bodvar!

Does anyones have an EDD for the Bible?
I am about to undertake the task of preparing special issue NT plus based on a new translation (Icelandic) of the Bible that is ready to be printed. I will only be getting the files in PDF (hopefully no ligatures) as the last changes were made at the layout company, in Denmark, I think. Maybe I will be able to get them in HTML as the local publishing company is backward engineering the the files from PDF. Not that I did not tell them about XML or FrameMaker. I did so two years ago. Anyway, I think this project is a typical structured thing, and as I have very little time (in my time off), I wonder whether someone has, or knows of, a suitable EDD for such a task. I think I have seen a Bible DTD for XML, but not an EDD. There are XML Schemas and several special markup languages for this too (USFM, USFX, OSIS, etc.), because of the limitations of DTD (and EDD). However, I think this could be done, especially if quotation marks are just typed and not relying on an element or an attribute (maybe attributes may be used for opening and closing quotes, etc.). Am I over my head in this? Please respond on or off the list. Bodvar Bjorgvinsson Iceland

Does anyones have an EDD for the Bible?
Daniel: Yes, it's pricey, or as they say here in Minnesota, "spendy!" I remembered from some English course that included some history of the novel, publishing, printing, etc., as you noted, that books at first were too costly for the unwealthy. Before mass-production printing techniques developed, the course's text noted, that illustrations were a huge problem, because most were re-drawn versions of earlier versions; each generation and artist introduced new, unique, and creative errors and distortions that sooner or later had no inkling of their original sources. (It took a few hundred more years for the photocopy machine to introduce the same kind of failure of copying.) For this reason, pictureless copies of scientific materials that were well-written by accurate observers were considered more accurate, because even illiterate copyists could get the words right, whether they were transcribed well or poorly. Later, it went on, as the spread of mass-produced religious printed materials, the graphics problem still was problematic. Woodcuts were costly to create, but the invention of conditional variables for graphics solved the problem! The garments of religious figures were shown as generically religious garb. However, the faces needed to be different for each group, so the woodcuts were made with empty holes for faces. The holes were plugged with blocks that printed specific faces and headgear for each market. I always thought this was pretty cool, but in reading through Meggs' "History of Graphic Design," 3rd ed., a book that's almost as painstakingly researched and compiled as the St John's Bible , there's no mention of this "rubber-stamp" technology in his coverage of the evolution of graphic communication from the beginnings of language through written and printed forms, media, methods, and technologies. Was I misled early on by that old course material?
