| Abstract | "The book of Esther is a kind of 'laboratory' for the study of the Textual Criticism of the Old Testament because of the diversity and complexity of its ancient textual witnesses. This volume complements the Synopsis of the Book of Esther (CBET 102.1), which presents a parallel comparison between the Masoretic Text, the Old Greek, the Alpha Text, the Old Latin, the Vulgate and Josephus' Jewish Antiquities. Referring to the readings highlighted in the synopsis, the essays in this volume focus on the Old Latin in order to show its distinctive features and its role in the history of the transmission of the book of Esther." -- Publisher, page four of cover. |
