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.

Work progressing on 1 Enoch and Testament of Job
Work is progressing on a full critical apparatus for two of the OCP documents. All three manuscripts are now available for Testament of Job up to chapter 15, along with the eclectic texts of Kraft and Brock. All of the Greek, Latin, and Aramaic evidence for 1 Enoch is now complete up to chapter 8.
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).
