Ebook: The Oracle of Tyre: The Septuagint of Isaiah Xxiii As Version and Vision (Supplements to Vetus Testamentum)

This volume deals with the Septuagint version of Isaiah 23, "The Oracle of Tyre". The text of this chapter is used as an illustration of a comprehensive method of analysis which is described in the first part of the book. Following a study of the Masoretic text the Septuagint version is dealt with from several points of view: in comparison with the Masoretic text; as a text in its own right; as to its genre ("vision"); and concerning its Hebrew Vorlage. Attention is also paid to the Isaiah texts from Qumran. The last section of the book contains a chapter on the reception of LXX Isaiah 23 in patristic commentaries and also an appendix of text critical notes on Isaiah 23 according to the principles of the "Biblica Hebraica Quinta".
