Encyclopaedia Biblica
I just found in pdf.
Encyclopaedia Biblica 4 volumes
I believe it is in the public domain. Is there anyone who has a shared license and can put this in libronix format ? I would be happy to transfer it over to someone who can convert it. I have no idea how to get it out of pdf format. I have tried numerous times.

Hi Blair,
It's a good idea but it might work out after Logos gets their Public Book Builder functioning in Logos 4; it's a missing feature now but one that will be added somehow and sometime in the second quarter. See here for more info.:

I 'resurrected' Blair's thread on the Encyclopaedia Biblica.
First, of course, Logos4 now has PPB under its new name. But that said, the Biblica PDFs are images; not text. I use a PDF viewer that automatically scans the images and converts them to text (Foxit). But since Biblica has an amazing amount of non-english references, the conversion illustrates the problem.
But that's not why I brought back Blair's thread.
Encyclopaedia BIblica is really an amazing set of books. In essense, it's an apparatus in the form of a dictionary.
If you use Anchor or similar, Biblica is one level higher in critical detail.
The downside is that it's a century old. But so is Tischendorf (sp?) and I keep it loaded when I studying.
These older resources are surely interesting. I wish there were a newer equivalent. I'd put in a suggestion for CP but I can't even imagine what the cost to produce Biblica would be (and thus the bidders needed).
If you get a chance, download the PDFs (there's 4). Or Google-books it. Well worth your query.
