Avot de-Rabbi Natan
Synoptische Edition beider Versionen.
by Hans-Jurgen Becker, edited by Christoph Berner
This comprehensive edition of both versions of Avot de-Rabbi Natan is the successor to the Salomon Schechter edition, published in 1887 and out-of-date for some time now. It is based on considerably expanded textual evidence and places the text witnesses next to each other without changing their versions or judging them. For the first time, these synopses permit an overview of the complete direct handwritten evidence and make it possible to recognize the lack of uniformity in the tradition. Avot de-Rabbi Natan A is presented in a large, double-paged synopsis with two appendices, the Avot de-Rabbi Natan B synopsis is shorter due to the fact that there are less manuscripts. Lists of parallels and a user-friendly reference system enable problem-free comparisons.

German description: Die hier vorgelegte, umfassende Edition beider Versionen von Avot de-Rabbi Natan tritt die Nachfolge der verdienstvollen, aber seit langem veralteten Edition Salomon Schechters von 1887 an. Sie stellt der kunftigen wissenschaftlichen Arbeit eine gegenuber Schechter bedeutend erweiterte Textgrundlage zur Verfugung. Moderner Editionstechnik rabbinischer Werke entsprechend stellt sie die Textzeugen nebeneinander, ohne ihre Lesarten zu verandern oder zu bewerten. Die Synopsen erlauben erstmals einen Uberblick uber die gesamte direkte handschriftliche Evidenz und lassen dabei die Uneinheitlichkeit der Uberlieferung jeder der beiden Versionen klar erkennen. Avot de-Rabbi Natan A wird in einer grossen, doppelseitig angelegten Synopse mit zwei Anhangen dargeboten, Avot de-Rabbi Natan B in einer wegen der geringeren Zahl der Textzeugen weniger umfangreichen Synopse. Parallelenlisten und ein benutzerfreundliches Verweissystem am Rande der Synopsen ermoglichen einen problemlosen Vergleich der Versionen. Die Einleitung beschreibt eingehend alle verwendeten Handschriften.
