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.
It was begun in 1956 by Moshe Goshen-Gottstein, assisted by Chaim Rabin and Shemaryahu Talmon. These three scholars were the project's first board of editors.
The text reproduced in this edition is the Aleppo Codex; the full masora (large and small) in that manuscript is included, but not massora from other sources. Six levels of footnotes record textual variants from a wide range of sources. 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).
- Rabbinic works, 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.
So far, the books of Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and The Twelve Prophets have been published.
