Hebrew University Bible Project
The Hebrew University Bible Project (HUBP) is a project at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem to create the first edition of the Hebrew Bible that reproduces the text of the Aleppo Codex and includes a thorough critical apparatus.[1][2]
It was begun in 1956 by Moshe Goshen-Gottstein, assisted by Chaim Rabin and Shemaryahu Talmon.[3] These three scholars were the project's first board of editors.[3]
The text reproduced in this edition is the Aleppo Codex; the full masora (large and small) in that manuscript is included,[1] but not massora from other sources. Six levels of footnotes record textual variants from a wide range of sources.[1] These include:
- Translations: the Septuagint, the Vulgate, the Vetus Latina, the Peshitta, the targums and Saadia Gaon's Arabic translation.[citation needed]
- Manuscripts, such as the Dead Sea Scrolls and the most important mediaeval copies (particularly the Codex Cairensis and the Leningrad Codex).[1]
- Rabbinic works,[1] including the two Talmuds and various midrashim (many examined for this purpose for the first time).[citation needed]
The editors add comments in English and Hebrew.[1]
So far, the books of Isaiah,[1] Jeremiah, Ezekiel,[4] and The Twelve Prophets have been published[5].
