Corpus

Start with the sources

AbrahamMoses begins with texts, not generated conclusions. Every work below is cited from a named edition; the counts show how much of the record rests on it, and the gaps say plainly what is not yet covered.

Primary text

The scriptures of the traditions in the record, cited by critical or standard edition.

33 works · 315 citations

Historical witnesses & material evidence

Ancient manuscripts, versions, inscriptions, archaeological finds and early documents that bear on how a text was transmitted or on the events it reports.

6 works · 9 citations

Reception history

How communities have read the primary texts over time.

31 works · 74 citations

Modern scholarship

Critical editions, lexica and peer-reviewed historical and theological study.

9 works · 17 citations

“Historical witnesses and material evidence” replaces the earlier label “Contemporary witness”: manuscripts, versions, inscriptions and early printings are witnesses to transmission and history, not contemporary sources. Classification is by provenance, and a source’s classification is never silently altered.
