Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9789004103511
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
The Peshit ta as a Translation contains the eleven papers which were read at the Second Peshit ta Symposium, held in Leiden 19-21 August 1993, as well as two reports on the ongoing work on the Peshit ta in Stellenbosch and Leiden, and as, an Appendix, an update of the Annotated Bibliography of the Peshit ta of the Old Testament (MPI 5, 1989).The papers discuss various aspects of the Peshit ta as a Translation: its translation technique(s), its relation to Septuagint and Targum, its language, and its use for text-critical purposes. This new addition to the MPI-series will be important for scholars who are engaged in research of the Peshit ta, and in the history of the Old Testament text, as well as for Syriacists.

Studies in the Syntax of the Peshitta of 1 Kings
Author: Peter Williams
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004497285
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 219
Book Description
The Peshitta is probably the earliest translation of the whole Old Testament into a Semitic idiom. It displays an impressive balance between fidelity to the structure and sense of the Hebrew original and sensitivity to the preferences of the receptor language. This book considers ten key topics in Syriac syntax and exhaustively considers their patterns as they occur in the Peshitta of 1 Kings. Old rules of grammar are refined, new rules formulated, and wider issues of translation method considered. This study is relevant to Syriac specialists, textual critics and biblical scholars alike. It argues that many features in the Peshitta that have previously been attributed to a translator's whim, or to a Vorlage varying from the Masoretic Text, are in fact determined by factors internal to Syriac.

Translation Technique in the Peshitta to Jeremiah
Author: Gillian Greenberg
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004497331
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
This book presents an analysis of translation technique, defining and measuring areas of literalness and of freedom, and discussing the evident acceptability of a non-literal approach, in both the original translation and later editorial work, to relevant communities. Because the Book of Jeremiah is so long, a quantitative analysis was valuable, showing: preservation of the sense of the Vorlage; freedom in selection of lexical equivalents even for important words such as "sin" and in making numerous additions in pursuit of precision; and a similar approach by later editors. Passages which are not represented in the translation despite their presence in the Hebrew Bible, and sometimes also in the Septuagint, are analysed, showing their value in illumination both the development of the Hebrew Bible itself from a number of earlier texts, and the precise wording of the text from which the Syriac translator worked. The strategies adopted to cope with the translation of particulary difficult Hebrew are analysed: these include taking guidance from the Septuagint, from other parts of the Hebrew Bible, and guesswork. Apart from its value to Peshitta scholars and Syriac specialists, the book is useful to biblical scholars and textual critics in general.

The New Cambridge History of the Bible: Volume 1, From the Beginnings to 600
Author: James Carleton Paget
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1316025640
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 1057
Book Description
Recent years have witnessed significant discoveries of texts and artefacts relevant to the study of the Old and New Testaments and remarkable shifts in scholarly methods of study. The present volume mirrors the increasing specialization of Old Testament studies, including the Hebrew and Greek Bibles, and reflects rich research activity that has unfolded over the last four decades in Pentateuch theory, Septuagint scholarship, Qumran studies and early Jewish exegesis of biblical texts. The second half of the volume discusses the period running from the New Testament to 600, including chapters on the Coptic, Syriac and Latin bibles, the 'Gnostic' use of the scriptures, pagan engagement with the Bible, the use of the Bible in Christian councils and in popular and non-literary culture. A fascinating in-depth account of the reception of the Bible in the earliest period of its history.

From the Magdala Stone to the Syriac Bema
Author: Rina Talgam
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004707735
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 535
Book Description
This book sheds light on the reciprocal relations between liturgical performance and the physical spaces in which they took place in synagogues and churches in antiquity. The kernel of the manuscript revolves around a decorated stone that was found during the excavations of a synagogue dated to the first century CE at Magdala on the shore of the Sea of Galilee. The book displays how this important archaeological discovery radically transforms our understanding of the changes in the shape of the liturgical space and the liturgical furniture in the places of assembly of the two sister faiths, Judaism and Christianity.
