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.
