Abstract

Abstract Three scholarly editions of the Hebrew Bible, each with its own distinct character, are currently being developed. Weis presents the Biblia Hebraica Quinta edition and compares it with earlier editions in the BH series and with the Hebrew University Bible and the Oxford Hebrew Bible. After developing a typology for describing editions of the Hebrew Bible, he concludes that BHQ is a prescriptive critical edition of the collative type.
