I have just received a RTF document that ostensibly contains the
transcribed text of the true 1569 Bible of Casiodoro de Reina. It's over
15MB in size, and looks to require a substantial amount of work to make
it a usable text (even leaving aside the spelling inaccuracies that were
retained intentionally). Incidentally, the entire body of
Deuterocanonical books is also available for this work.
It currently requires a special font to view all of the uncommon
characters. I'll make sure to have that available.

Authentication is paramount.
We could well learn from the TV programme "Fake or Fortune" that
establishing PROVENANCE is the key to success.
All the more so for digital texts obtained from somewhere "out there".
Even so, a lot of good work does get done by dedicated volunteers that
take upon themselves the task of transcribing old works that are in
the Public Doman. One only has to look at Project Gutenberg or
Wkisource to find examples of this public spirited activity.
Aside: The withdrawn SpaSEV module had been first made from GBF -
General Bible Format.

David
