SynopsisBiblia Hebraica Quinta ( BHQ ) is a detailed and up-to-date presentation of the available evidence for the transmission of the text of the Hebrew Bible. It has been reworked from scratch by an international and interdenominational team of scholars. The textual basis of the new edition is the oldest fully preserved manuscript of the Hebrew Bible, known as the Codex Leningradensis. Job , edited by Robert Althann (PIB Rome), is volume sixteen of the complete BHQ series.At the beginning of each volume, there is a table of accents, a glossary for the Masorah parva, a list of the definitions and abbreviations used to characterize the readings, and a useful sample page that illustrates the features of the layout. Each volume ends with a detailed yet succinct discussion of the textual witnesses for each biblical book that contains a wealth of helpful information, and the manuscripts and critical editions of the texts are clearly annotated.The text-critical apparatus has been completely redesigned in this edition and the material presented has been greatly expanded. All significant variants from the Qumran texts are now listed in full. For the first time, the edition also contains a detailed commentary section that makes academic work easier. It offers an introduction to each biblical book in which the relevant textual witnesses are characterized and their use in the critical apparatus is explained. Particularly practical: The commentary section not only contains numerous in-depth comments on individual text-critical questions, but also a translation of the large masorah and explanations of the small masorah. Both the commentary section and the text-critical apparatus are written in English. At a glance: The text of the Leningrad Codex, corrected from new color photographs of the codex The Masorah magna and Masorah parva from the Leningrad Codex A single apparatus with all relevant textual variants at the bottom of the page All available pre-Tiberian witnesses for each textual case are noted At least two other Tiberian codices are collated for each book The Qumran and Judean Desert fragments are collated Extensive commentary Other volumes in the series: 9781619708389 Biblia Hebraica Quinta (BHQ) Vol 01: Genesis 9781683074038 Biblia Hebraica Quinta (BHQ) Vol 03: Leviticus 9781598561982 Biblia Hebraica Quinta (BHQ) Vol 05: Deuteronomy 9781598563870 Biblia Hebraica Quinta (BHQ) Vol 07: Judges 9781598563863 Biblia Hebraica Quinta (BHQ) Vol 13: The Twelve Minor Prophets 9781598563092 Biblia Hebraica Quinta (BHQ) Vol 17: Proverbs 9781598561821 Biblia Hebraica Quinta (BHQ) Vol 18: General Introduction and Megilloth 9781598561838 Biblia Hebraica Quinta (BHQ) Vol 20: Ezra and Nehemiah
