This is a study of the Lyman edge region in the spectra of eleven high redshift quasars. We present large aperture, low resolution data designed to detect broadened Lyman edge absorption predicted by thermal models of the Big Blue Bump continuum component. We also present high resolution data on the edge regions and the Lyman alpha emission line for nine of the objects. We show some partial absorption edges and discuss whether or not they can be interpreted as support for the accretion disk model.
