Algy and Sonia,
Sorry to inform you that my daughter Claudia desisted from the idea to read Rubaiyat in Hebrew.
She had a look at the text and found it too difficult, mainly because there are no signs of alphabetization.
You know that of course in Hebrew only consonants are written and no vowels. In some texts although some signs (dots below or above consonants, are marked to make it easy to read, that means text alphabetized).
She could read anyway but the chosen vowels would be too arbitrary and random to make a serious reading. Pity because she liked the idea.
So, she asked me to excuse herself wishing you to find soon a better reader.

Though careful with the file-naming !!! Yours should have been section 2, now you replaced the original section 3.... I need to tweak this now, stay tuned.
So Algy, your choice: will there be even more versions or will we call it a wrap ? Awaiting further instructions.

Let's put this baby to bed.

Sonia, could you tidy up the catalogue page?
Anyone who is interested in recording his/her own reading of the Rubaiyat should investigate this site;

Thank you
It now looks fine on the LV catalogue page.
However the line breaks haven't transferred to the Internet Archive page. I don't know if reformating this page takes a little while.
Cheers
