The Ethiopic Text of the Book of Ezekiel: A Critical Edition
Michael A. Knibb (Samuel Davidson Professor Emeritus of Old Testament Studies, Samuel Davidson Professor Emeritus of Old Testament Studies, King's College London)
Ezekiel is one of the few books of the Ethiopic Old Testament of which no critical edition has hitherto existed, and the aim of this work is to fill that gap. It provides a critical edition of the oldest accessible text of the Geez version and is based on a collation of fifteen manuscripts. The Ethiopic version is a daughter version of the Septuagint, and the work sheds light on the character of the original translation and on its subsequent history. The latter included the revision of the translation in the early mediaeval period, which was in part influenced by a Syriac-based Arabic version, and a further revision of the translation based on the Masoretic text.
