Ezra and Nehemiah (Biblia Hebraica Quinta | BHQ)
On the initiative of the United Bible Societies, and with the sponsorship of the German Bible Society which has special responsibility for the publication of scientific editions, the Ezra and Nehemiah fascicle of a new edition of Biblia Hebraica is now available.
This is a manual edition (editio minor), in the Biblia Hebraica tradition, produced for serious students of the Hebrew Bible. It aims to provide them with a clear presentation of the surviving evidence of the BHQ as a diplomatic presentation of text and Masorah (magna and parva) of the manuscript EBP. I B 19a, in the Russian National Library in St. Petersburg, commonly known as the Leningrad Codex, cited from new color photographs made by the Ancient Biblical Manuscript Center of Claremont, California. As the oldest complete manuscript of the Hebrew Bible, it serves as the base text against which other witnesses are collated.
A general introduction in English, German and Spanish presents the edition, characterizes the text and Masorah of the base text, the particular use of resources, the relation of BHQ to BHS and previous editions, standards of collation and citation of witnesses, and a comprehensive list of sigla and abbreviations in the edition.
An introduction to Ezra and Nehemiah discusses the particular textual features of that book and characterizes the ancient witnesses. Additionally, there is also accompanying commentary where the editors discuss their decisions, translate the Masorah magna and note problems with the Masorah magna and parva, and where possible resolve them.
The fascicle is available as part of the Biblia Hebraica Quinta with Apparatus | BHQ (6 vols) collection.

It really is a pleasure to look up and search in ways never thought possible before these great electronic resources. I must confess that the 'wow' factor remains high even after roughly three months of use.
