A Critical Edition of the Hexaplaric Fragments of Job 22-42

A Critical Edition of the Hexaplaric Fragments of Job 22-42

contains the established text of all the preserved readings of Origen’s

Hexapla in Greek, Syriac, Latin, and Armenian for Job 22-42 with variant

author attributions and variant readings presented in a series of

apparatuses. In most entries, the editor has supplied Notes in the form of

brief commentary on the readings. This edition of hexaplaric fragments

surpasses previous editions (e.g. Frederick Field’s work) in two ways: (1)

the edition contains more readings of Aquila, Symmachus, and Theodotion

and (2) the critical text of each reading is based on the most up-to-date

manuscript evidence for the hexaplaric readings of Job. The new edition

will have immediate relevance for textual criticism of the TaNaK/Hebrew

Bible/Old Testament, the Greek lexicon of the late second temple period,

and early Jewish and Christian interpretation of the Hebrew scriptures in

Greek.
