Here’s a survey of the new features and databases in BibleWorks 10!
New Screen Layout and Colours
Greater Mac Compatibility
Though the previous BibleWorks Mac Installer covered almost everything our typical user needed, that wasn’t enough for us. We continue to push beyond 98% and have substantially improved the Mac Installer compatibility and functionality. More importantly, the program now ships with the Mac Installer–no separate purchase is required!
Screen scaling
Adjust screen font size for a variety of displays
The top level windows and text in BibleWorks can now be scaled larger, making reading on high resolution/retina displays, projectors, and tablet PCs a little easier.
Morphology Coloring
Add colors to text based on morphology
Apply colors automatically to words based on morphological coding. The color tagging specifications can be saved for later use or for sharing with other users.
Leningradensis Images
High-res images of the entire Hebrew OT
BibleWorks contains a massive set of high resolution images of the Leningradensis Codex, the manuscript behind the BHS and WTT Hebrew texts. As you move the mouse over Bible text, the LC images for the verse display on a dedicated tab. Markers show the start of each Bible verse reference.
Essential Biblical Hebrew, Jan Verbruggen.
A new introductory Hebrew grammar
This is a comprehensive introductory Hebrew grammar by Jan Verbruggen. Classroom tested and refined, it contains a wealth of lessons, history, and exercises (with key).
EPUB Reader
Build and organize a library of EPUB ebooks
With the new EPUB window you can read EPUB files and manage libraries of EPUB files. There are two instances of the EPUB tab so you can have a reader open in each Analysis Column. Collect commentaries, references, theology, and any other category of ebook, organizing them in your EPUB library as you see fit.
User Lexicon
Instantly reference your personal notes on words
In the new User Lexicon Tab, you can keep notes on any word in English versions and in morphologically tagged Greek and Hebrew versions. When you move your mouse over words in the Bible text, your notes instantly appear and can be quickly edited.
BibleWorks Manuscript Project
Two new manuscript transcriptions have been added: Ephraemi Rescriptus (M-04) and Claromontanus (M-06). Neither has morphology yet. Both are based on Tischendorf transcriptions. Neither has image sets, but M-04 does have images of the Tischendorf transcription. Vaticanus and Sinaiticus now have completed morphology
