Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Studies in the Text of the Old Testament offers to the English-speaking world the combined introductions to the first three volumes of Dominique Barthélemy’s Critique Textuelle de l’Ancien Testament. CTAT was the culmination of the Hebrew Old Testament Text Project, launched by the United Bible Societies in 1969 and carried out by an international team of Old Testament textual critics under the leadership of Eugene Nida. As Emanuel Tov has stated, these introductions form “an almost complete introduction” to the textual criticism of the Hebrew Bible. They hold an important place in Old Testament textual criticism and can stand alone, apart from the detailed discussions of the textual problems found in the volumes. Part one surveys the history of OT textual criticism “from its origins to J. D. Michaelis” and presents the Hebrew Old Testament Text Project and its goals. Part two describes in detail the background of the modern versions that the HOTTP took into account in its work. Part three, the most extensive section, discusses the textual witnesses—the different forms of the Hebrew text and the contribution of the ancient versions. As his concluding program for a critical edition makes clear, the groundbreaking work of Barthélemy and the HOTTP served as the basis for the new Biblia Hebraica Quinta, which began publication in 2004. UBS undertook the HOTTP to offer Bible translators help in applying the results of textual criticism to their work, but there is no doubt that many others will benefit from this work, as well as the other volumes in the series “Textual Criticism and the Translator.”

Excerpt from Critica Biblica: Or Critical Notes on the d104 of the Old Testament Writings A great period of Biblical criticism has come to a close. There are now few books published by Old Testament scholars as boldly progressive as Kuenen's Onderzoek, Wellhausen's Der d104 Samuelis and Prolegomena, Klostermann's Samuel und Konige; and when, by a happy accident, such an able pioneering work as Gunkel's Schopfung und Chaos is given us, it is to the author's exaggeration of the points in which he appears to differ from Wellhausen that he owes some part of his success. Of the three critics first mentioned, two still remain to us. Klostermann's work, however, has not yet apparently made its public; and Wellhausen, of whom it was once said, in Schiller's words, 'War' er besonnen, war' er nicht der Tell, ' now feels himself 'too old' to trouble himself about the 'very latest criticism, ' and can hardly be said to have put his full strength into his most recent work on the Old Testament. It is no doubt Wellhausen himself who has taught us to apply the highest standard to his books, and he may yet become more manifestly our leader. But so much at least may, without fear of contradiction, be affirmed, that the Old Testament teaching which is now in the ascendant is distinctively cautious, and that scholars generally confine themselves to work in narrow grooves, and use old even if improved methods.
