"This is a verse-by-verse, text-critical study of two important books out of the Minor Prophets. An English translation by the author is provided alongside its Hebrew original as found in Biblia Hebreaica. The Septuagint text studied is the edition prepared by Ziegler. The main purpose of the monograph is not to discover evidences which could be valuable for reconstructing the original Hebrew text of these books, but to read the LXX as a Greek document of its own, not merely as a translation. Much attention has been directed to a whole range of linguistic issues relating to the Greek and Hebrew grammar and lexicography. Ancient fragments found in the Judaean Desert and Qumran caves of these books in Hebrew and Greek have also been looked at. -- The book of Hosea has been published in the series La Bible d'Alexandrie, but not that of Micah yet. Unlike this series we have paid only minimum attention to documents such as patristic commentaries from which one can learn how the LXX was interpreted without reference to its Semitic original."

"The first half of the book of Daniel contains world-famous stories like the Writing on the Wall. These stories have mostly been transmitted in Aramaic, not Hebrew, as has the influential apocalypse of Daniel 7. This Aramaic corpus shows clear signs of multiple authorship. Which different textual layers can we tease apart, and what do they tell us about the changing function of the Danielic material during the Second Temple Period? This monograph compares the Masoretic Text of Daniel to ancient manuscripts and translations preserving textual variants. By highlighting tensions in the reconstructed archetype underlying all these texts, it then probes the tales' prehistory even further, showing how Daniel underwent many transformations to yield the book we know today"--

"This book investigates the biblical text of Codex Washingtonianus, also called the Freer Gospels, Codex W and GA 032. There are numerous distinctive features in this early and important gospel book, including the differing affiliation of its text in separate sections (known as block mixture). The study examines and evaluates the blocks of text in this manuscript through the extensive application of the technique of quantitative analysis, which sheds light on the textual relationship between Codex Washingtonianus and other gospel manuscripts. Paratextual features, orthographic variations, and singular readings are also described and analysed. This book thus functions as an investigation of the phenomenon of block mixture in itself as well as the character of this particular manuscript, confirming many of the findings of previous scholarship and providing new data from the context of modern research"--

Claudius Claudianus (ca. 370-404 n. Chr.) galt lange vor allem als panegyrischer Chronist des weströmischen Kaiserhofs ab 395 n. Chr. Auch die wohl nach seinem Tod unter dem Titel Carmina minora gesammelten kürzeren Gedichte lassen den Panegyriker Claudian erkennen, zeigen jedoch gleichzeitig einen Dichter, der besonders anhand der Beschreibung von Naturmirabilia weitere Facetten seines poetischen Programms präsentiert. Dieses Programm zeichnet sich einerseits durch eine intensive intratextuelle Bezogenheit aus, die unterschiedliche Aspekte eines ausgeprägten ars-natura-Diskurses aufzeigt, in dessen Rahmen die Erzeugnisse einer natura artifex vom poeta artifex Claudian ekphrastisch höchst raffiniert inszeniert werden. Andererseits verdeutlichen intertextuelle Bezüge zu zahlreichen griechischen und lateinischen Dichtern die Einbindung einer Tradition, die ergänzt durch typische Gestaltungsmittel spätantiker Dichtung die programmatische Bedeutung der concordia discors offenbart. Genannte Bestandteile des poetischen Programms Claudians betrachtet die vorliegende Publikation anhand detaillierter Textanalysen und leistet so einen wertvollen Beitrag zur weiteren philologischen Erschließung der Carmina minora.

"Peter J. Gentry provides a complete and full introduction to the critical edition of Ecclesiastes in the Göttingen Septuaginta series along with user-friendly explanations for non-specialists as well as detailed documentation to demonstrate the basis for the critical text of Greek Ecclesiastes. Text History volumes supporting the critical editions in the Göttingen Septuaginta usually provide evidence and lists to document and demonstrate the recensions existing in the textual history and the best methodology for arriving at the earliest form of the text that we can reach. Gentry’s Text History volume provides, in addition, a complete and full introduction which was not given in the critical edition. Since this introduction is in English, it will aid English-speaking scholars who find access to the critical editions difficult because the introductions are in German."--
