Abbreviations

We follow the same style of abbreviations as the Association for Jewish Studies. Their recommendations are reproduced in this section as follows:

Biblical and Extracanonical Texts

1. Biblical citations should cite the title in full (e.g., “Genesis”) followed by chapter and verse (e.g., 1:1) following the JPS titles and versification.

2. Extra-canonical Jewish texts of Second Temple period should be cited in accord with The HarperCollins Study Bible. New Revised Standard Version, With the Apocryphal/ Deuterocanonical Books (1993). Alternatively these texts may be cited in accord with a specific critical edition or translation, as follows: II Maccabees 2:19 (J. Goldstein, tr., The Anchor Bible. II Maccabees [ New York, et al.: Doubleday, 1983], 189).

3. Dead Sea Scrolls should be cited in accord with the titles and identifying rubric of the editions published by the DJD series, e.g., 4Q MMT 394, 3 (E. Qimron and J. Strugnell, eds., Discoveries in the Judaean Desert X. Qumran Cave 4.V. Miqsat Ma`ase Ha-Torah [Oxford: The Clarendon Press, 1994], 47). Alternatively these texts may be cited in accord with a specific edition or translation, as follows: The Halakhic Letter (4Q MMT 394, 3 in the edition of F. Martinez, tr., The Dead Sea Scrolls Translated: The Qumran Texts in English, 2nd ed. [New York & Cologne/Grand Rapids: E.J.Brill/ William B. Eerdmans, 1994], 80).

4. Greek works of Hellenistic authors should be cited in accord with the most recent Loeb edition unless one is not available. In that case, citation should follow a reputable scholarly edition or translation.

5. New Testament citations should follow the conventions of the HarperCollins Study Bible (see above). Patristic and other early Christian citations should follow the conventions of reputable scholarly editions or translations.

Medieval Halakhic, Mystical, and Philosophical Works

In citing such works authors should attempt to follow conventional citation systems. In the first reference to such texts, authors should provide full publication information about the edition used. Thereafter, it is sufficient to cite the text in an abbreviated title.

Transliterations

A transliteration chart is provided below. For articles focusing on philology or in which philology is an important component, the rules of that discipline should be followed.

1. All letters taking a dagesh (spirant) in the middle of a word should be doubled except in cases of ts and sh. Ex: tallit, kiddush, limmud, but patsats.
2. Words ending with kamats + heh should be written “ah.” Ex: kabbalah, torah.
3. Words ending with patah + het (furtive patah) should be written with the het underlined or a het with a diacritical mark. Ex: h or ḥ as in ruah
4. Do not separate definite articles from the noun they define (as with a hyphen or apostrophe). Thus, ha’adam, ba’arets, heharim.

Hebrew vowels should be transliterated as follows:

a for patah and kamats........................................................Ex: abba

e for tsere and segol, and mobile sheva..........................Ex: hets, geshem, ledabber

i for hirik..................................................................................Ex: mittah

o for holem, kamats katan and hataf kamats.................Ex: homah, hokhmah, mohoratayim

u for shuruk and kubbutz...................................................Ex: ulam, sullam

Quiescent sheva is not transliterated..............................Ex: helkah

i for dipthongs (patah-yod, tsere-yod, etc.)......................Ex: matai, beit, goi, shinui
