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.

Updated 2 Baruch
Ian Scott has completed revisions to the Greek fragments of 2 (Syriac) Baruch (www.purl.org/net/ocp/2Bar.html). These revisions include a newly expanded introductory page, as well as a new layout of the Greek fragments which shows more clearly how the lines appear on the recto and verso of P.Oxy. 403.
