|
||
# The first Hebrew Braille table hosted on LibLouis was developed by
|
||
# the Library for the Blind and the Ministry of Education in
|
||
# Israel. It is intended for use with Modern Hebrew.
|
||
# Please see World Braille usage 3rd edition, p. 74.
|
||
#
|
||
# The tables hbo.utb, hbo-cantillated.utb, and hbo-slim.utb are
|
||
# designed for Classical Hebrew (also called Biblical Hebrew).
|
||
# Classical Hebrew contains vowels, punctuation, and cantillation
|
||
# marks not used in Modern Hebrew.
|
||
#
|
||
# This table translates according to the 1946 International Hebrew
|
||
# Braille Code, as described in:
|
||
# Dubov, Leopold. “Preface.” In The Holy Bible: The Complete Hebrew
|
||
# Text Embossed in Twenty Volumes, Volume One: Genesis; New York: Jewish Braille
|
||
# Institute, 1950.
|
||
# The IHBC includes all vowels but excludes cantillation and
|
||
# punctuation marks apart from mappiq, paseq, zaqef qatan, etnahta,
|
||
# and sof pasuq.
|
||
# For more information about the IHBC and its development, See:
|
||
# <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hebrew_Braille#:~:text=The%20International%20Hebrew%20Braille%20Code>

# <https://huc.edu/library_blog/learning-about-hebrew-braille/#:~:text=The%20Code%20created%20by%20Brevis,books%20written%20in%20Hebrew%20Braille>
|
||
|
||
# For fully cantillated Hebrew, see hbo-cantillated.utb
|
||
# For Hebrew without dagesh and shewa, see hbo-slim.utb
|
||
#
|
||
# All three tables forward-translate Hebrew and uncontracted English
|
||
# and back-translate Hebrew. They provide access to critical editions
|
||
# of the Hebrew Bible, such as Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia and
|
||
# Biblia Hebraicaa Quinta, as well as rabbinic and liturgical texts.
|
||
# They also work for cognate languages that used the common Northwest
|
||
# Semitic linear alphabet in antiquity, including Old and Imperial
|
||
# Aramaic, Moabite, Edomite, and Phoenician (as, for example, in
|
||
# the Corpus Inscriptionum Semiticarum and Kanaanäische und Aramäische
|
||
# Inschriften).
|
||
|
||
# Developed by Eric J. Harvey with support from the national
|
||
# Endowment for the Humanities (USA) and Stanford University.
|
||
# Many thanks to Leonard de Ruijter, Sarah Blake LaRose, Matthew
|
||
# Yeater, and Paul Geoghegan for their help developing and testing the
|
||
# tables, and to Abby Howell for suggesting the inclusion of Yiddish
|
||
# characters and reviewing code.
