This volume presents 54 names of the Hebrew Bible (including the chapters in Aramaic) which can be derived from Iranian languages. Also 17 other names are included in the book, which do not have an Iranian etymology, but they had been interpreted as Iranian in previous research. This new reference work of Iranian names in the Bible can fully replace the treatment of these names given by Ferdinand Justi’s Iranisches Namenbuch (1895) and by Isidor Scheftelowitz (Arisches im Alten Testament I, Konigsberg 1901) which are – though outdated in many cases – still frequently quoted in Biblical studies. For all 71 names the Biblical references and the form of the name in the Septuaginta are given, followed by – mostly short – prosopographical information.

For all 71 names the Biblical references and the form of the name in the Septuaginta are given, followed by – mostly short – prosopographical information. The longest section for each name is the discussion of the etymological interpretation of the name, including also possible derivations from Semitic languages. The book concludes with detailed indices. The volume will be of interest both to specialists in studies of the Hebrew Bible and of Iranian languages. German description: Der Band verbucht insgesamt 54 Namen der Hebraischen Bibel (einschliealich der Abschnitte in Aramaisch), fur die eine iranische Deutung sicher oder plausibel ist; ferner werden 17 Namen kritisch diskutiert, fur die in der Forschung unterschiedliche iranische Herleitungen vorgeschlagen wurden, die jedoch abzulehnen sind. Mit dem Band liegt somit ein verlassliches Referenzwerk vor, durch das die Eintrage dieser Namen in Ferdinand Justis “Iranischem Namenbuch” (1895) und die Analyse von Isidor Scheftelowitz (“Arisches im Alten Testament I”, Konigsberg 1901), auf die in Studien zur Bibel im letzten Jahrhundert regelmaaig verwiesen wurde, uberholt sind. Fur alle 71 Namen werden – soweit eine Entsprechung vorliegt – fur spatere Studien die Namensform der Septuaginta sowie die Belege nachgewiesen. Nach in der Regel kurzen Angaben zur Prosopographie liegt der Schwerpunkt des Textes in der Diskussion der etymologischen Deutungsmoglichkeit(en), wobei auch Herleitungen der Namen aus semitischem Sprachgut evaluiert werden. Ausfuhrliche Register erschlieaen das onomastische Vergleichsmaterial. Neben dem Ertrag fur die Iranistik ist der Band von besonderem Interesse fur die Bibelwissenschaften.
