Browse Corpus
The GBBJ corpus may be explored in various ways. You may browse the corpus by text type. Alternatively, you may browse the contents of the corpus by biblical book. You may also browse the corpus by inflected and lexical forms.
At various points you will have the option of either viewing a document or reading a description of it. If you choose to view it, the text will appear in both diplomatic and normalized form (Default Visualization). You will have the option of viewing the normalized text alongside its Hebrew source, Septuagint translation and Hexaplaric variants (Parallel Aligned Text).
Browse Corpus by text type
The documents of the corpus have been divided into two types:
Documents are identified by name and class-mark. The name typically consists of a corpus number (e.g. T2) and biblical book (e.g. Jonah).

Browse the corpus by biblical book

They have been divided into sections according to biblical chapter and verse: the Greek text may be studied in relation to its Hebrew source.

Scroll up or down to view the rest of the document. For a description of the manuscript click its class-mark.
