Unicode/XML Leningrad Codex: Updated text, UXLC 2.1 (Build 27.2, 1 Apr 2024)

Post by cvkimball »

The Unicode/XML Leningrad Codex (UXLC) at <https://tanach.us> has been updated to UXLC 2.1 (Build 27.2) of 1 Apr 2024.

The previous Hebrew text, UXLC 2.0, has been updated with 103 text changes to produce UXLC 2.1. Thanks to the authors of these changes: Ben Denckla and Daniel Holman.

Daniel Holman, of Tomah, Wisconsin, USA, has completed his first pass through the Tanach. His effort started with UXLC 1.5 in July 2022 and produced 772 corrections up to the current text. His dedication and skill are gratefully acknowledged. Many thanks to Ben Denckla for his review of these changes.

Please feel free to contribute changes to the text.

I "second" Chris' praise of Daniel Holman's meticulous work. To me he ranks among the great scrutinizers of manuscripts like Dotan and Breuer! Holman's work, along with Chris' extensive work to incorporate it, have brought UXLC into its own as a unique edition. While grounded in the seminal work of those who created and maintained WLC, UXLC has forged its own path in the last few years, due in no small part to Holman's contributions.
