Barthel scans and svgs are up.

While better quality images for Fischer drawings were all added at once, the better quality images for the Barthel tracings are being added little by little. So far A, B, E, K, R, and S had been added. Today I am adding Tablet (Item) I: bitmap and svg.

Again I’d like to thank M. de Laat for providing the scanned files.

Another page, this one now for tests of the svgs which have individualized glyphs. While there are links for all pages, only A (Tahua) is completed.

In response to the issue of better quality images, I have now made a first stab at an improvement. I have now posted a new set of pages which display better scanned and edited versions of the Fischer drawings. The pages can be found here. Note that these pages display the tablets on single pages, with all lines as complete lines, no codes. They are also pretty big, so unless one has a very wide monitor, a lot of horizontal scrolling will be involved, particularly for something like the Staff.

I have updated Barthel’s Grundlagen. Corrections to page 202 (thanks to M. de Laat for pointing this out), and various other typos fixed. The pdf has a sidebar TOC, but I have now also made Barthel’s TOC clickable.

The Fischer images for tablet Q have been replaced with considerably improved versions. This should be particularly apparent with the svgs.

Further comments about this issue to follow.

Fischer svgs for tablet Q have been added.

Dedicated Fischer svg pages have now been added, for tablets S, T, U, V, and W. These pages load as single objects and have the advantage of being “clickable”, showing the individual glyphs, and also display the codes (though not aligned). It should be noted that these are the still the standard codes from Barthel/CEIPP, with only minimal tampering on my part. Fischer’s drawings differ at times from Barthel’s tracings, and the codes do not always match up. Fischer however never made any attempt to adjust the numbering for what he was seeing/drawing, and that job will still have to be undertaken.

A number of things have been shuffled around since the last entry. After moving the site to kohaumotu.org, I decided to change the old update blog, which had been made using iWeb, a somewhat clumsy arrangement. I briefly tried using phpBB, which is really bulletin board / forum software. I have now settled on a more straightforward approach using a WordPress blog. I am going to redirect traffic from most links to this page as the “front door.” The menu bar here gives reasonably easy access to the main pages of the site, such as the tablets pages. Anyhow the blog approach should allow for a structure that always shows “What’s new.”
