Jewish encyclopedia

You cannot copy the text from the files at that site

Yup, I'm totally away about that, but apparently you can (for a lack of a better way to describe it) "scan them" and "extract" the text from them. Just don't ask me how its done, as I have no idea. Though I think the best person to ask is Josh Bond of how that can be done. And if that fails, then just google it up.

I am taking crack it this project by creating an e-Sword Dictionary module using the full entries from the Jewish Encyclopedia website. I Initially tried creating a Topic module but be obvious very quickly that a different approach was needed. So far the Dictionary module approach is working well after some trial and error on my part. However I am not sure if can all of the entries into a single dictionary module or if I will need multiple modules. The reason for my concern is that the Jewish Encyclopedia contains 15000 articles or entries I am not sure if a single dictionary can hold them all

 

The Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological and Ecclesiastical Literature has almost 50,000 entries, so 15,000 should be fine for a single dictionary file. My hats off to you for undertaking this endeavour.

Thanks so much for generously filling this gap.

While one module would be nice, even if multiple files, it's a valuable addition.

Im hoping the outcome has some mysword compatability. (Like many esword or mysword modules)

When I am done with the e-Sword module I will convert it for MySword use as well

Thanks
