Scholars of early Judaism and early Christianity need better access to the texts of the Pseudepigrapha in their original (or extant) languages and with a critical apparatus. In many cases critical editions are prohibitively expensive or out of print, and scholars without access to a large library have been hard pressed to find them.
The OCP is intended to address this problem by publishing on-line, free-access critical texts of the Pseudepigrapha which are up-to-date and academically rigorous.

January 2005
Ken Penner has completed the encoding of the Greek witnesses to 1 Enoch, which are now available in a critical apparatus. This apparatus also includes, at present, the first column of 4Q201 (Aramaic) and two Latin witnesses.
