Subject: LIBRARY OF AMERICA ?
Just recently, during a weekend on the lovely island of Martha's
Vineyard, I found in a bookstore the "Complete poetry and complete
prose" of Walt Whitman in a fine edition named "The Library of America".
The volume contains : Leaves of Grass (1855), Leaves of Grass
(1891-1892), Complete Prose Works (1892).
The back-cover says that The Library of America is "the only definitive
collection of America's greatest writers". I am not a specialist of
American literature and I wonder if this claim is true. Before I
continue to purchase more books in this collection, could someone tell
me whether the Library of America provides really authoritative editions?
The books themselves are fine. The thin high quality paper, the fine
type remind me of our french "Bibliotheque de la Pleiade" without the
notes and variants (which often occupy one third of a typical volume).
I wonder if American publishers offer other such "complete" works of
American authors.
Thanks for any feedback.

Subject: Transcription for Biblical Hebrew
I am looking for a transcription for Biblical Hebrew which can be
realized entirely with a normal European font, i.e. latin letters and
some of them with accents.
I also would appreciate bibiliographic hints concerning the question of
transcription.
