I'm astounded by this article; it boggles the mind.

I've been reading snippets on the TLL for several months and may eventually finish a short article about it and a few other related projects including one in Egyptian and one in Coptic which all have a slipbox nature. They generally represent what are known as key word in context (KWIC) indices. 10,000,000 slips is a heck of a feat.

For those interested in it, here's a great overview video (in English) featuring the project's Kathleen Coleman:

I'm tempted to rename my primary "box" the Horrevm (storehouse or treasury) in honor of their work.

Great video, thanks Chris!
