Talmudic manuscripts from libraries throughout the world.... As
the manuscripts are entirely in Hebrew and Aramaic, the navigation
tools of this site are in Hebrew."

The

"The Computer Geniza Project of the Department
of Near Eastern Studies at Princeton University seeks to extend
the methodologies available to Hebrew and Arabic scholars working
with the documents found in the Geniza chamber of the Ben Ezra Synagogue
in Cairo in the late 19th century. The project is dedicated to transcribing
documents from film copies to computer files, creating a full text
retrieval text-base of transcribed documents, developing new tools
such as dictionaries, semantic categories and morphological aids
to further the study of Geniza texts."
