Corpus Masoreticum: The Inculturation of the Masora in Western European Jewish Learning Culture from the 11th to the 14th Centuries. Digital Development of a Forgotten Culture of Knowledge

该项目的目的是有史以来第一次与11世纪到14世纪的西欧马索拉传统进行语言学上的接触。Masora指的是希伯来圣经中辅音文本的正字法、语法、发声和发音规则。东方圣经抄本中最早的马所拉注释（9 - 10世纪）以线性形式书写，旨在确保文本的准确传递和复制。这些马索拉传统从11世纪开始传入中世纪的阿什科纳兹（德国和法国北部），与东方马索拉的不同之处不仅在于它们的语言学内容，还在于它们的布局和以缩微插图形式呈现的文本格式。在第一个资助阶段，该项目的工作重点是12至14世纪德系犹太人的豪华书法圣经，以及德系犹太人学者对这些圣经的接受程度。在24份手稿中，有4份的人偶图和相当部分的线性人偶图已经被编辑过。由于对马索拉雕像的语言学性质及其在不同手稿和文化背景下的功能和目的的研究，以及对德系犹太人马索拉圣经作为历史文物的研究，取得了突破性的成果。数字基础设施，包括Confluence平台和工作空间BIMA 2.0，作为整个编辑工作和任何进一步的文献学、训诂学、语言学或古文字研究的共享数字存储库，已经达到了本研究期间的基本目标，并已成为任何形式的外交数字版本的基本工具。作为与科学界接触的一部分，Masoreticum已经设立了一个国际咨询委员会，并发行了自己的出版物系列。通过向公众宣传，制作了关于该项目的目标和方法的两部记录片（https://t1p.de/BIMA-Video1; https://t1p.de/BIMA-Video2）。在第二个资助阶段，研究人员将继续编辑masora figurata和线性masora parva和magna，但也将专注于文本关键问题和德系犹太人圣经文本修订的特征，这是一个与masora parva研究特别相关的主题。手稿的选择和其中要编辑的部分已稍作修改。BIMA 2.0将以多种方式开发：文本即图模型中的数据建模将进一步关注列表结构和模式，这些结构和模式阐明了中世纪的知识存储和转移方法。将实施额外的外交抄写工具和协作修订工作流程。最后，我们将重点讨论在BIMA 2.0中创建的版本的完全TEI兼容的XML导出。TEI的出口流程将为我们的合作伙伴德国圣经协会提供《希伯来书》的高质量版本格式。

The aim of this project is the first ever philological engagement with the Western European Masora tradition from the 11th to the 14th centuries. The Masora refers to rules of orthography, syntax, vocalization and cantillation of the consonantal text of the Hebrew Bible. The earliest Masoretic notes in Oriental Bible codices (9th–10th centuries) were written in linear form and designed to ensure accurate transmission and copying of the text. These Masoretic traditions arrived in medieval Ashkenaz (Germany and Northern France) from the 11th century onwards and differ from the Oriental Masora not only with respect to their philological content but also regarding their layout and mise-en-texte in the form of micrographic illustrations. In its first funding stage, the project’s work has focused on deluxe calligraphic Ashkenazi Bibles from the 12th to 14th centuries and their reception by Ashkenazi Jewish scholars. The masora figurata plus considerable portions of the linear masora magna of four of 24 manuscripts have been edited. Ground-breaking results have been achieved owing to research into the philological quality of the masora figurata and its function and purpose in different manuscripts and cultural settings as well as into the Ashkenazi Masoretic Bible as a historical artifact. The digital infrastructure, consisting of the Confluence platform and the workspace BIMA 2.0 as a shared digital repository for the entire editing work and any further philological, exegetical, linguistic or paleographical research, has already reached the essential objectives for this research period, and has established itself as an essential tool for diplomatic digital editions of any kind. As part of its outreach to the scientific community, Corpus Masoreticum has installed an international advisory board and issues its own publication series. By way of public outreach, two documentary videos on the project’s objectives and methods have been produced (https://t1p.de/BIMA-Video1; https://t1p.de/BIMA-Video2). In the second funding stage, research staff will continue editing masora figurata and linear masora parva and magna, but will also focus on text-critical issues and the characteristic features of Ashkenazi Bible text recensions, a topic which has come up in particular in relation to the study of the masora parva. The selection of manuscripts and the portions to be edited therein have been slightly revised. BIMA 2.0 will be developed in a number of ways: data modeling within the Text-as-a-Graph model will further focus on list structures and patterns that elucidate medieval methods of knowledge storage and transfer. Additional diplomatic transcription tools and collaborative revision workflows will be implemented. Finally, we will focus on fully TEI compatible XML exports of editions created in BIMA 2.0. The TEI export workflow will provide our cooperation partner, the German Bible Society, with high-quality edition formats for the Biblia Hebraica Quinta.
