Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the Ancient Ethiopic translation of the Old Testament biblical texts known as the Octateuch, which is comprised of the first eight books of the Hebrew Bible: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, Joshua, Judges, and Ruth. The author, who is a distinguished expert on the subject, compares and contrasts these ancient Ethiopic texts to more modern texts from the Septuagint and Masoretic traditions to create a comprehensive critical edition of the Ethiopic Octateuch. The book draws upon historical evidence, philological analysis, and textual criticism to uncover the origins, transmission, and modification of the Ethiopic version. The author's careful analysis yields insights into linguistic relationships and the value of this version for purposes of textual criticism. This book is an important contribution to the scholarship of biblical studies and will be of value to scholars of religious texts, particularly those concerned with ancient versions of the Hebrew Bible, the Septuagint, and comparative Semitic philology.
