Biblia Hebraica Quinta
The Biblia Hebraica Quinta (abbreviation BHQ ) is a new text-critical edition of the Hebrew Bible (Biblia Hebraica). It has appeared in individual deliveries since 2004 and diplomatically reproduces the text of the Codex Leningradensis (M L ) from 1008, including its Masora parva and Masora magna .
It also contains a text-critical apparatus. Its language is English , in contrast to the previous editions , in which Latin was used as the device language. Quoted text variants from Hebrew, Aramaic , Greek and, for the first time, from Syriac are offered in the original languages and scripts. For the first time, the text-critical apparatus also contains all non-orthographic variants of the scrolls from Qumran and from the Judean Desert .
A general introduction (in English, German and Spanish ) as well as two illustrations that illustrate the structure of a page and the apparatus precede the first delivery.
Each delivery also contains, in English, an introduction to the text witnesses of the respective biblical book, notes on the Masora parva, notes on the Masora magna and a commentary on the text-critical apparatus.
By 2019, seven of a total of 20 deliveries ("fascicles") had appeared. After the complete publication there will be a study edition in two volumes, whereby the first volume will contain “Biblical text, Masora and critical apparatus as well as the introduction to the complete edition, furthermore the sigla, symbols and abbreviations”, while the second volume will contain the introductions to the individual books, the text and Masora commentary as well as the translation of the Masora Magna ”should contain.

In the general introduction , the manuscript is introduced in the German text as “Codex ЕВР IB 19a of the Russian National Library in St. Petersburg (Siglum M L )” (BHQ Fascicle 18, General Introduction and Megilloth , XXVIII), but also in tradition of the previous editions, referred to as “Codex Leningrad” or “ Codex Leningradensis ” (Fascicle 18, General Introduction, XLI).
