Hebrew Old Testament Text Project

The Hebrew Old Testament Text Project (HOTTP) was an international and interconfessional committee of six Hebrew Bible scholars organized in 1969 by Eugene Nida, then head of the translations department of the United Bible Societies (UBS). This UBS sponsored committee was made up of Dominique Barthélemy, Alexander R. Hulst, Norbert Lohfink, W.D. McHardy, Hans Peter Rüger, and James A. Sanders. Nida served as chair of the committee with secretaries Adrian Schenker and J. A. Thompson. As a result of holding annual meetings from 1969 to 1980 to review issues of textual criticism deemed significant for translators, the committee issued a five-volume Preliminary and Interim Report between 1973 and 1980 (edited by Schenker) which is also sometimes referred to and cited as "HOTTP."[1]

HOTTP is an important precursor to Biblia Hebraica Quinta and Barthélemy's five-volume final report entitled Critique textuelle de l’Ancien Testament (CTAT) published between 1982 and 2015.[2]
