Well, this would give you a flying start if you needed to work up an EDD, as 
FrameMaker will create an EDD from the DTD for you.

Am I over my head in this?

Probably not, but where Icelandic is concerned, I suspect that most of the rest 
of us are ;-) Hope someone can help.

Probably because you need the Finger of God, not a mere chisel.

RE: Does anyones have an EDD for the Bible?

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.
I don't have the FM skills Bodvar asked for but I do appreciate the work
has undertaken from a professional as well as a spiritual perspective.

Ah... so that's what 'NT' stood for. I though it was a Windoze reference ;-)

I'm disappointed: I always thought it was goat skin. Better for the goats, I 
guess.

Re: Does anyones have an EDD for the Bible?

2007-06-20 Thread Peter Gold

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!

Absolutely true: I have a friend on the Wales team.

Of course, these guys don't use FrameMaker: if they did, they'd have finished 
years ago, but it wouldn't have looked quite so pretty.

I think you are correct, Steve. Paper in those days was made of goat and
other skins. I guess papyrus from Egypt was too expensive. I wonder if
any of the technical material we write today will be remembered 2K years
from now...

Actually, according to an historical film I saw as a child, there were
actually three tablets, but one fell off the mountain and was never
replaced 

Now THAT's an editing job!

 I think this early PDF (Portable Decree Format) has been 
 abandoned, as it turned out to be surprisingly fragile -- the 
 first deliverables were damaged by the carrier and had to be replaced.
