Studies in the Peshitta of Kings : The Transmission and Revision of the Text, Relations with other Texts, and Translation Features Hardback
by Donald Walter
Part of the Texts and Studies series
Hardback
Description
This monograph examines the manuscript variants of the Peshitta (the standard Syriac translation) of Kings, with special attention to the manuscript 9a1.
Manuscript 9a1 is of critical importance for the textual history of Kings, and Walter argues that there is overwhelming evidence that the non-9a1 Mss attest to an extensive revision.
This monograph also discusses translation features of the Peshitta of Kings with special attention paid to harmonization and the leveling and dissimulation of vocabulary.
Walter also treats the vorlage for the translation and treats its relation to the LXX and the Targumim.
