The Ethiopic Book of Jeremiah, the largest prophetic book of the Ethiopic Old Testament, has never seen a critical edition. About 100 years ago, Josef Schäfers had prepared a critical edition, but he died in the fall of 1916, and his manuscript was lost during World War I. Therefore, a critical edition of ethJeremiah remains a desideratum both for Ethiopic studies and for Septuagint research.The critical edition of ethJeremiah will be based on the collation of all available textual witnesses. This edition will include the book of Threni and the apocryphal additions that are usually transmitted together (these books are also referred to as the Jeremiah-cycle). The edition will give new insights into the textual character of the earliest attainable Ethiopic version of Jeremiah (versio antiqua) and into the nature of its Vorlage (i.e., the Septuagint). The edition will also document the textual history from the versio antiqua up to the printed editions of the modern era, and it will provide valuable material for investigating the method(s) of translation. Of the Ethiopic Jeremiah cycle, Josef Schäfers knew about 15 manuscripts from European libraries. In addition to these, 18 manuscripts from Ethiopian churches and libraries became available through the EMIP program of the George Fox University. The EMML has also eight manuscripts. Of all of these manuscripts, digital copies are either available or will be processed respectively.At George Fox University, a transcription of ethJeremiah (Asmara Bible) has been made in 2013. It is available to Mr. Heide and it will serve as a base text for all collations.The time required for the collation of the 30 oldest manuscripts is approximately 3.5 years. During collation, the different layers (esp. the Arabic andacademic recensions) must be reckoned with.After collating the oldest manuscripts, the application of the Teststellen-method (a method developed by the Institut für Neutestamentliche Textforschung, University of Münster) can help to decide if manuscripts from later times (15 manuscripts from the 19th - 20th centuries) should be included in the full collation. This means that, for the more recent manuscripts, only those verses would be collated where significant variants are to be expected. This should not take longer than one year.After that, the results from the various collations will be commented. They will be compared with the observations of Schäfers and will be published together with the critical text. This will require about six months.The collation of the text and the subdivisions of the critical text, according to its various recensions, will be carried out with the help of a professional text editor, preferably CTE (Classical Text Editor). This also ensures that the unicode text, if applicable, can be made available in the internet.

《耶利米书》是《旧约》中最大的预言书，从未出现过批判性版本。 大约100年前，Josef Schäfers准备了一个关键版本，但他于1916年秋天去世，他的手稿在第一次世界大战期间丢失。因此，一个关键版本的ethJeremiah仍然是一个desideratum都为natopic研究和七十士译本的研究。关键版本的ethJeremiah将基于整理所有可用的文本证人。这个版本将包括书的Threni和杜撰的补充，通常是一起传输（这些书籍也被称为耶利米周期）。该版本将提供新的见解，以文字性质的最早可达到的耶利米（版本antiqua），并进入其Vorlage的性质（即，The Septuagint）。该版本还将记录从古代版本到现代印刷版本的文本历史，并为研究翻译方法提供宝贵的材料。关于耶利米书的手稿，约瑟夫·谢弗斯从欧洲的图书馆里知道了大约15份手稿。除此之外，通过乔治福克斯大学的EMIP计划，还可以获得来自埃塞俄比亚教堂和图书馆的18份手稿。EMML也有八个手稿。在所有这些手稿中，数字副本要么可用，要么将分别处理。在乔治福克斯大学，ethJeremiah（阿斯马拉圣经）的转录已于2013年完成。海德先生可以使用它，它将作为所有校勘的基础文本。整理30份最古老的手稿所需的时间约为3年半。在整理过程中，必须考虑到不同的层面（特别是阿拉伯文和学术修订）。在整理最古老的手稿之后，应用Teststellen方法（由明斯特大学的Institut für Neutestamentliche Textforschung开发的方法）可以帮助决定是否应该将较晚时期的手稿（19 - 20世纪的15份手稿）纳入完整的整理中。这意味着，对于最近的手稿，只有那些诗句将整理的地方，预计将有重大的变化。这项工作不应超过一年，之后，将对各种校对的结果进行评论。他们将比较观察Schäfers和将出版连同关键文本。这将需要大约六个月的时间。文本的整理和关键文本的细分，根据其各种修订，将在专业文本编辑器的帮助下进行，最好是CTE（古典文本编辑器）。这也确保了统一代码文本（如果适用）可以在互联网上提供。
