Subdivided into the Hebrew and the Greek Bible and Qumran, this updated and revised collection represents Emanuel Tov's work from 1990 onwards. He takes a special interest in the orthography of biblical manuscripts, the nature of the early Masoretic Text, the nature of the Qumran biblical texts and their importance for the biblical text, Bible editions, and the use of computers in textual studies. The author also focuses on the interaction between textual and literary criticism. His special interests in the Qumran scrolls include their nature and scribal background, the contents of the caves, and the number of Qumran compositions. The Septuagint papers evolve around their text-critical value and techniques and the Judean Desert texts.weiterlesen
