Technical information: a digital project
Electronic Enlightenment is part of a new generation of digital projects: not just page images or a static collection like digital "books on the shelf". Pushing towards a fully (and fully accessible) digital model, EE is built from a complex integration of multilingual texts, along with constantly developing technical facilities.
For example, we have to display texts written in more than a dozen languages — and an increasing number of non-roman scripts:
- Arabic
- Cyrillic
- Greek
- Hebrew
- ancient Syriac
Additionally, we need to present a wide range of specialized symbols, including:
- alchemical
- mathematical
- pharmacological
As a result, EE's increasing technical sophistication makes some demands on user technology. This section is meant to provide information, advice and help to make the best of what the resource has to offer.
