Biblia Hebraica quinta editione: New Solutions to Old Problems in the Text-Critical Edition of the Hebrew Bible
2008
Abstract
The text-critical project of Biblia Hebraica quinta (BHQ) is reviewed and presented and illustrated with reference both to the internal tradition of previous editions of Biblia Hebraica, and to alternative projects. Basic problems of text-critical editing of the Hebrew Bible are presented and the particular choices made by the editors of BHQ are discussed.
Overall the recent BHQ edition is evaluated to be a marked advance in publishing the Hebrew Bible text.
