WONNEBERGER ReinhardUnderstanding BHS. A Manual for the Users of Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia.
3ª ed. riveduta e corretta. 2001. pp. 120.
This
manual is designed to be used in conjunction with the Biblia Hebraica
Stuttgartensia (BHS) and has the following goals:
1.
to enable beginners to gain access to the language of the text apparatus
of BHS and to the Masoretic apparatus as well;
2.
to document the apparatus language of BHS in its entirety and to
provide references to the Old Testament text wherever possible;
3.
to propose a new concept of dealing with the apparatus of BHS and
thus to advance the science of publishing critical editions of a
text.
These
goals are achieved through a translation of the items of the apparatus
of BHS into English and through a complex but clear presentation
of the relevant material in «paragraphs», figures, and
indexes. All translations and presentations are linked together
by a structured explanation.
A
selected bibliography is provided for further study in depth.
