Please refer interested researchers to this site for obtaining their own copy. Organisation of the data: The .tar.gz file contains three directories: images, features, and plots. The included 'README' file contains all the instructions. The 'images' directory contains NetPBM images of the columns of 1QIsaa. The NetPBM format is chosen because of its simplicity. Additionally, there is no doubt about lossy compression in the processing chain. There are two images for each of the Great Isaiah Scroll columns: one is the direct binarized output from the ...
