Fellow scholars -- the following query was posted to the Renaissance list FICINO mailto:<mailto:ficino@utoronto.bitnet> by ALan Rudrum. I'd be happy to forward any answers to that list. And I'd also like to add my own query: has anyone tried using hand-held scanners to "read in" black and white / greyscale images (maps, woodcuts, etc.) as well as printed words, early modern or modern? I too am contemplating a scanner purchase and would like to hear your experiences. thanks Kris Zapalac History Washington University in St Louis mailto:kzapalac@artsci.wustl.edu---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Mon, 11 Jul 1994 14:05:13 -0700 From: Alan Rudrum <mailto:Alan_Rudrum%SFU.CA@WUVMD.Wustl.Edu> To: Multiple recipients of list FICINO <mailto:FICINO@UTORONTO.BITNET> Subject: Scanners and early printed material
I wonder if any member of the Ficino list has had success in scanning early printed material? A colleague who tried on nineteenth century material a couple of years ago said there were so many errors as to make it not worth while; but I guess technology marches on. I am thinking of printed materials from early to late seventeenth century. Please cross-post, and respond to me personally.
