Abstract:
For some years now, the new project of Biblia hebraica quinta (BHQ) has produced its first volumes. Up until 2022, eight volumes have been published: Genesis, Leviticus, Deuteronomy, Judges, the Twelve Prophets, Proverbs, the Five Megilloth (the Song of Solomon, Ruth, Qohelet, Lamentations, and Esther), and Ezra-Nehemiah. This new edition of the Biblia hebraica series continues to use the Leningrad Manuscript B 19a as its base text. Compared to Biblia hebraica stuttgartensia (BHS), BHQ is distinguished by a/ a better reading of the manuscript where it is less legible, b/ the presentation, translation, and commentary on the Masorah, c/ an apparatus criticus in English which reflects recent research, in particular on the Dead Sea scrolls and other textual witnesses, d/characterizations of variant readings, e/ notes and commentaries on the Masorah and the critical apparatus. The comparison with BHS emphasizes what is new in BHQ.
