Textual History of the Bible: Vol 1. The Hebrew Bible

This volume covers the books of the Hebrew canon. The volume opens with a series of overview articles on the history of the Jewish and Christian canons, on the ancient Hebrew and Aramaic texts. These entries are followed by articles on the different primary translations
(Greek, Aramaic, Syriac, Latin, and Aramaic) and uniquely the secondary translations as well (Latin, Coptic, Ethiopic, Syriac, Armenian, Georgian, Christian Palestinian Aramaic, Old Slavonic, and Arabic) most of which were sourced from the Greek.
The main body of the volume is structured according to the biblical canon, with multiple entries on the Pentateuch, the Former Prophets, the Latter Prophets, Psalms, Job, Proverbs, the Five Scrolls, Ezra-Nehemiah, and First and Second Chronicles. The Pentateuch section
as a whole begins e.g. with articles on the textual history of the Pentateuch: on the ancient Hebrew-Aramaic texts, and on the medieval MT. It then discusses the primary translations (the multiple Greek versions, the Targumim, the Peshitta, Vulgate, and Arabic translations)
and the secondary translations (the Vetus Latina and the Coptic, the Ethiopic, the Late Syriac, Armenian, Georgian, Old Slavonic, and Arabic translations). The point here is to provide the reader with sufficient information about all available versions of each biblical book, a
discussion of the extant manuscripts, of the modern editions, the specific characteristics of each version, and their text-critical significance.
