вЂќ Note that instead of a superscript letter in the text with the same letter as a footnote in the apparatus, the text of the BHQ is unmarked, and the apparatus note simply preceded by the word (Ч©Ц°ЧЃЧћЦ·Ц–Чў) under consideration.

The BHQ apparatus, however, reads: вЂњЧ©Ц°ЧЃЧћЦ·Ц–ЧўВ Smr V S T | prec 4:45 Nash G вњќ But the BHS alone does not give the reader much more guidance than that. вЂњ рќ”ЉВ pr nonn vbвЂќ means something like, вЂњThe Old Greek/Septuagint puts before several words.вЂќ For Deuteronomy 6:4 BHS has a superscript вЂњaвЂќ in the text after Ч©Ц°ЧЃЧћЦ·Ц–Чў, directing to footnote a, which reads: вЂњ рќ”Љ pr nonn vb.вЂќ I write here about the use of Accordance to quickly decipher the abbreviated Latin in the BHS critical apparatus.

Those who have learned how to make use of the abbreviated Latin in the BHS apparatus may be somewhat disappointed to not be able to put that knowledge to use (and to have to learn a new system), but in the end this makes for a more widely accessible apparatus, in my view.ДЄ comparison between the BHS apparatus and the BHQ apparatus at the same point is instructive. Note that abbreviations in the BHQ apparatus are now abbreviations of English, not Latin. (The BHQ, however, corrects the BHS to the Leningrad Codex based on new color photographs.) As the BHQ is based on the Leningrad Codex, just as the BHS is, the text itself is largely unchanged.

Consonants, vowels, and cantillation marks are all the same. You can see that the text of Deuteronomy 6:4-5 above is unchanged in the BHQ. You can click or open in a new tab to enlarge. HereвЂ™s my workspace for reading the Hebrew Bible with BHS, BHQ, the apparatus for each, and the BHQ commentary. ItвЂ™s easy to have both side-by-side in Accordance. Taking the BHQ for a spin alongside the BHS is perhaps the most helpful way to see how the two compare. Not all text critics will agreeвЂ“and many will appreciate BHQвЂ™s approachвЂ“but his argument is compelling all the same. But Hobbins calls this вЂњthe chief drawback of BHQвЂќ and writes вЂњin defense of conjectural emendationвЂќ as it would appear in the apparatus. As I will note below, the oft-appearing, seldom-explained вЂњprp=propositum=it has been proposedвЂќ of the BHS is replaced in BHQ with more conservatism in suggesting emendations.

His article includes full sample pages of the print edition, too.

Weis: вЂњ Biblia Hebraica QuintaВ and the Making of Critical Editions of the Hebrew Bible.вЂќВ Weis has served as a member of BHQвЂ™s editorial committee, so he is able to offer some good detail on вЂњphilosophical and pragmatic choicesвЂќ made in publishing the editions. It heralds a very important step forward in the BH series.вЂќ Yet at the same time, вЂњThis advancement implies more complex notations which almost necessarily render this edition less user-friendly for the non-expert.вЂќ That said, anyone who reads TovвЂ™s 11-page introduction will be well-equipped to begin making use of BHQ. Tov says the BHQ is вЂњmuch richer in data, more mature, judicious and cautious than its predecessors. Emanuel Tov: вЂњThe Biblia Hebraica QuintaвЂ“An Important Step ForwardвЂќ ( PDF).Anyone serious about learning how to use this resource discerningly (as all text critics must be discerning) will do well to avail themselves to these, probably in this order: Some excellent scholarly treatments of the BHQ have already appeared. IвЂ™ve written more generally about scholarly editions of the Hebrew Bible, and have reviewed the BHS module in Accordance already. The next generation of the Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia (BHS) is the Biblia Hebraica Quinta (BHQ).
