I splashed out $12 for a facsimile edition of the 1829 Lee translation from Amazon, and yesterday I got hold of it. I've submitted it for clearance and will do the scans as time permits. I intend to push the scans into a DP project versus trying to handle it myself. There will be difficulty however: this is a scholarly translation and is full of footnotes, pronunciation notation and is stuffed with arabic passages.
Do put it through DP-EU (the European Distributed Proofreaders). They are using Unicode and can handle Arabic text. In fact, they were or are doing some Urdu texts in Arabic script. -- Karen Lofstrom Zora on DP
