Samaritan-Hebrew Manuscript Culture: Codicology and Paratexts of Samaritan Pentateuch Manuscripts (11th-15th century)

本项目旨在对保存最早的撒玛利亚五经手稿进行全面的编纂学分析和描述。此外，它的目的是提供这些手稿中所包含的所有文字和附加文字的访问，并以学术版本的形式呈现它们，以及翻译和附带的评论。整个语料库包括87份完整保存的手稿和349份碎片手稿，可追溯到11 - 15世纪。在该项目的第一阶段（2019-2022年），对42份完整保存的手稿以及在不同馆藏中单独发现的部分进行了分析和编目，并为这些手稿中包含的322个副文本编写了学术版本。制作这些描述和版本的数字数据库“Katamaritanischer Pentateuchhandschriften”已经可以在线访问，功能齐全。除了对手稿本身的详细描述外，它还在所提供的分析数据中提供了广泛的数字搜索功能，其中包括首次以新撒玛利亚希伯来语提供的全面数字文本语料库。此外，该项目还根据数字版中的手稿完成了该书的初步版本，包括副文本的目录和学术版，其印刷版将与数字数据库一起出版。项目的第二阶段（2022-2025），其是本申请继续的焦点，旨在对剩余的45份完整保存的手稿及其碎片部分进行编纂学分析和描述，完成包括所有副文本的数字学术版本的数字数据库，以及准备目录的书籍版本和准备印刷的版本。

The present project aims at a comprehensive codicological analysis and description of the oldest preserved manuscripts of the Samaritan Pentateuch. In addition, it aims to provide access to all peri- and epitexts that are contained in these manuscripts and to present them in scholarly editions, together with translations and an accompanying commentary.The whole corpus comprises 87 fully preserved and 349 fragmentary manuscripts dating to the 11th–15th century. In the first stage of the project (2019-2022), 42 fully preserved manuscripts together with the fragmentary parts of them that are found separately in different collections were analyzed and catalogued, and scholarly editions were prepared for the altogether 322 paratexts contained in these manuscripts. The digital database "Katalog samaritanischer Pentateuchhandschriften" which makes these descriptions and editions is already online accessible and fully functional. Besides the detailed descriptions of the manuscripts themselves, it offers a wide array of digital search functions within the analyzed data provided there, among them for the first time a comprehensive digital corpus of texts in the Neo Samaritan Hebrew language. In addition, the project accomplished a preliminary version - in accordance with the manuscripts contained in the digital version - of the book, comprising the catalogue and the scholarly editions of the paratexts, whose publication in print will accompany the digital database. The second stage of the project (2022-2025), which is in the focus of the present application for continuance, aims at the codicological analysis and description of the remaining 45 fully preserved manuscripts and the fragmentary parts thereof, the completion of the digital database including digital scholarly editions of all paratexts, as well as the preparation of the book version of the catalogue and the editions ready for print.
