Abstract
An osp(1, 2)-covariant Lagrangian quantization of general gauge theori es is introduced which also applies to massive fields. It generalizes the Batalin-Vilkovisky and the Sp(2)-covariant field-antifield approac h and guarantees symplectic invariance of the quantized action. Massiv e gauge theories with closed algebra are considered as an example.
