The Hebrew and Aramaic Lexicon of the Old Testament on CD-ROM
Volumes 1-4

L. Koehler, W. Baumgartner & J.J. Stamm.Translated and edited under the
supervision of M.E.J. Richardson


Description

Koehler, Baumgartner and Stamm's The Hebrew and Aramaic Lexicon of the Old
Testament (HAL), the long-awaited English version of the famous Koehler and
Baumgartner's Hebrew-German dictionary, is widely recognized as being the
standard modern English dictionary for Biblical Hebrew. In combining
scholarly thoroughness with easy accessibility, this dictionary meets the
needs of a wide range of users. The proposed CD-ROM edition of the
dictionary will not only contain all the information available in the print
edition of HAL, but will provide additional features that will enhance its
usefulness considerably.

Functionality

The functionality of the CD-ROM will include the exact reproduction of the
character and paragraph formatting of the print edition. Additional
functionality comes especially with the possibility of article-based
navigation and extensive, language-aware, searching of Hebrew and related
languages, e.g. full-text, Boolean, and proximity searches. Furthermore,
every `see also' cross-reference to other articles in the dictionary will be
made into hyperlinks. Biblical references will also be enabled to be
hyperlinks to Biblical texts. As an aid to the reader, all abbreviations
will be turned into hotspots, activating window pop-ups with the full
expansion of the abbreviation.

Releases

In the first instance, the CD-ROM will be published in two installments. The
first release will contain the four print volumes of HAL published so far.
An update, containing volume 5, will complete the initial part of the
project.
Subsequent updates are planned in order to publish the so-called Companion
to HAL, which will contain additions and remarks on HAL, based on the most
recent findings, insights, and opinions of an international team of
Hebraists. The updates of the CD-ROM will allow the user to keep track of
the latest findings in the field.
