Westminster Leningrad Codex

Yokelheim — Tue, 03 Feb 2026 03:29:25 +0000

I added the Westminster Lenigrad Codex to this site. The continuously revised version is at https://tanach.us/. A 713 MiB PDF file is available at archive.org. A set of color photographs by Bruce E. Zuckerman is also available. In order to faciliate easy links, I have uploaded a reduced file size version of the 713 MiB PDF. This version is ~229 MiB. The file size was reduced by changing the DPI to 72 DPI via GhostScript on Linux. I have not uploaded the 713MiB at the moment because using that one for links as I did with the Geneva Bible would cause quite a server impact when each new version lookup required 713 MiB of data transfer.

Genesis 1:1 appears on page 7 of the PDF. The Aleph and Tav in Genesis 1:1 is in the right column, 2nd line from the top, on the right-side edge of the column.

The 1881 Westcott and Hort Critical Text

The 1881 Westcott and Hort Critical Text is now available on this site. This contains their critical text and the Authorized Version of 1611, according to the front matter of the book. Their title includes the words "original Greek", but it very much is not the original Greek since it includes capitalization, diacritics, punctuation, hyphens, bracketed words, and spacing.

A Stephanus Greek, KJV, and ERV interlinear

Yokelheim — Sun, 13 Jul 2025 00:36:02 +0000

This site now has a copy of The Parallel New Testament Greek and English from Oxford University Press, 1896. This text contains the Authorized Version (KJV), the English Revised Version, and a Greek text based the third edition of Stephanus published in 1550. The two streams of Greek texts are the received stream via Erasumus/Beza/Elzevir/Stephanus/Scrivener and the critical stream via Westcott/Hort/Tischendorf. Texts within the same stream can differ, and other than Erasumus, I prefer the Stephanus. The reason is that Erasmus’ text lacked verse numbers and Stephanus added them. Stephanus is thus the oldest received text stream associated with the time of the publication of the KJV. Scrivener was late to the game, and while it is nice to have a newer Greek text in that stream, any new Greek text copywritten after the arrival of Tischendorf puts me off.

This is the Textus Receptus, also called the received text.

There are some differences in received text versions, some which are significant such as without where with should be and vice versa. [1]

Sumatra PDF reader (Local mirror of 3.5.2 64-bit) works wonderfully for viewing these kind of books. The following screenshot was taken with “Book View” on, and “Scroll Pages Continuously” activated. Librera is excellent for Android.
