My project studies the role and impact of paratextual elements in reading, understanding, interpreting, and learning the Hebrew Bible. The project has two main objectives: to examine the relationship between the biblical text and the Masora annotations and to investigate the interaction between the Masora and other paratextual elements when they coexist in the margins of the manuscript. Overall, this project aims to uncover the intricate relationship between the biblical text and paratextual elements in Hebrew Bible manuscripts.
