The Text of Jeremiah for the 21st Century

Description of the granted funding

"The Text of Jeremiah for the 21st Century" utilizes a novel approach to text historical research in order to reconstruct the unique textual history of the book of Jeremiah in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament). The Publication of the Dead Sea Scrolls over the last decades and the exceptional nature of the variant witnesses of Jeremiah call for the production of new and up-to-date editions of the book that reflect the latest advancements in the field of Biblical Studies. The "Biblia Hebraica Quinta" edition will replace the previous edition (1976) as the standard reference text of the Hebrew Bible used to educate theologians, clergy, Bible translators and religious leaders throughout the world for the foreseeable future. "The Hebrew Bible: A Critical Edition" will be the first to reconstruct the earliest attainable form of the text in light of the most recent evidence.
