Bøger i De Septuaginta Investigationes serien

Although Origen and his Hexapla are well known among biblical scholars, questions about his philology, particularly textual criticism, persist. The Hexapla contained very important texts and translations of the Hebrew Scriptures, but unfortunately it was probably destroyed in the seventh century and we possess only fragments of it. This volume systematically treats the questions of Origen's forerunners and heirs and attempts to reconstruct how Origen developed the philological method he received and also how his followers received and innovated his textual work.

This collected volume is an indispensable part of any theological and philological library. It provides a detailed and up-to-date overview of the Greek Psalter, which plays a central role in the study of the Septuagint. Featuring contributions from leading experts in a variety of disciplines, this work covers all relevant aspects of the Greek Psalter. From text-critical analyses to linguistic and historical considerations, this volume offers profound insights, making it an essential resource for researchers and academics in Biblical Studies and related disciplines.
