In a number of places one hears biblical scholars dream of a new kind of commentary, a commentary with hypertext links and multimedia elements. This paper, though it ends with such dreams, is based on the experience of an ongoing project, begun in 1995, to discover the opportunities and constraints on such a commentary (Postmodern Bible – Amos).…[Read more]

Additive manufacturing poses a number of challenges to conventional understandings of materiality, including the so-called archaeological record.
