Even Bohan / Shem Tov Matthew
I have typed into a word processor (Mellel) the Even Bohan Hebrew text from George Howard, Hebrew Gospel of Matthew (Mercer, 1995) in order to make it useable for comparing with other Hebrew Matthew texts.

I have scanned a xerox copy of the DuTillet Hebrew Matthew Manuscript (the original is housed in the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris [Hebrew MSS. No. 132]). These scans are available below in pdf format. Since they are high resolution scans, the pages have been grouped to form smaller downloadable files.

I have transcribed the DuTillet Manuscript into normal Hebrew script and put it in a parallel column with the Greek text of Matthew (UBS text). This file also contains my initial notes made while transcribing the text.

Münster Hebrew Matthew

This book, printed 1551–1554, contains an interesting array of texts, including the Münster Hebrew Matthew as edited by Johannes Quinquarboreus and the DuTillet Matthew. Some of the texts are in parallel columns with Latin and Greek. I have scanned the entire book and it is available on one CD for $12.00 plus shipping. Some samples of the scanned pages may be viewed below.
