Hi Teus,
Unlike the several existing digitisations of the Hebrew Bible, the Ginsburg
edition retained the use of the RAFE point.
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rafe](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rafe?wprov=sfti1)
This is not the only difference compared to the WLC and BSH or BSQ text,
but it is a feature that puts the Ginsburg edition into a class of its own.
Other niqqud differences include how the HOLAM is used.
Being also a scholarly critical text edition, there are more than 4000
footnotes in Tigran’s Ginsburg based text.
It’s evident that Tigran consulted other Hebrew Masoretic MSS besides the
Ginsburg.
Converting Tigran’s Tiqwah / TeX encoding to UTF-8 would require the combined
expertise of a Biblical Hebrew scholar and a Unicode technical wizard.
It’s not something to be taken on lightly.
Best regards,
David
