More on the Mysterious Bible Language
Dr. Mariottini, a fine man indeed (I was fortunate enough to meet him at the blogger dinner), has also taken Mr. Greensburg to task (somewhat) over a recent editorial. (my post here)
His post is here. He concludes with,
The King James Version has a beautiful Elizabethan English that people love and a literary style that reflects the beauty of old English, an English than few people today can understand.

The first quote comes from a student of Augustine, one Fulgentius of Ruspe:

New Computer Techniques Developed To Analyze Historic Hebrew And Arabic Documents
A reader caught this and sent it to me!
Researchers at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) will combine the scientific and scholarly expertise of their humanities and computer science experts in a new project to analyze degraded Hebrew documents.
The effort to develop new computer algorithms combines BGU’s scientific expertise in computer vision, computer graphics, image processing and computational geometry with the scholarly expertise of historians and liturgy scholars to provide valuable answers regarding Jewish liturgical texts and Arabic historical texts that advance scholarship in these fields.
Go read the rest here, and then tell me what you think? Could this be used to render a biblical translation?
