| Summary: | The Dead Sea Scrolls probably represent the most significant historical manuscript discovery in recent history. In 1993 Brill Academic Publishers published all available DSS photographs on microfilm together with an extensive guide to them. But because microfilm offers less than optimal access, all film has been transferred onto CD-ROM which mean that the digital computer technology is making such tasks as cross referencing, interpretation and comparisons much easier and faster than before.<br>"The Dead Sea Scrolls Electronic Reference Library project takes the form of an ongoing archive. Brill Academic Publishers and Oxford University Press, granted exclusive rights by the Israeli Antiquities Authority to produce this CD-ROM edition of the Dead Sea Scrolls, will publish new volumes in the series on a regular basis.<br>Volume 1, a 3 CD-ROM package, comprises over 3,500 black and white images and detailed support information.<br>Success in scholarship today is increasingly a function of the speed and convenience of source access and interpretation. The rich material detail combined with the unprecedented manipulative capabilities of the computer mean the "DSS Electronic Reference Library leaves all alternatives far in its wake. <br>Optiware software<br>System requirements: <br>7Windows 3.1 or higher<br>7Processor: 486 or higher<br>7RAM: 16Mb (minimum); 32Mb (recommended)<br>7Monitor and graphics card: SVGAand 256 colors<br>74x CD-ROM player (minimum); 32x CD-ROM player (recommended)<br>Note: DSS 1 is not compatible with Windows XP! <br>Technical Support: <br>E-mail: support@brill.nl<br> |
