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.

Upgrades to the Grammateus user-interface
Ken Penner and Ian Scott have now completed upgrades to the Grammateus user-interface for the OCP. These upgrades allow us to display multiple languages properly within a single critical apparatus. Users can also switch back and forth in the main-text view between manuscripts in different languages. To see this new functionality at work, see the OCP edition of 1 Enoch (In progress).
