The Syrohexapla: a key to the Graeco-Roman and Late Antique periods.


This book prepares the way for a new critical edition of the hexaplaric fragments of III Kgdms, which is now possible due to the results of the present study. Ultimately, this material will allow us to learn more about the interactions between Jews and Christians in the Graeco-Roman and Late Antique periods, their understandings of the nature of Scripture, and the methods they used to make the Divine Word understandable.
