Synopsis of the Book of Esther
Masoretic Text, Old Greek, Alpha Text, Old Latin, Vulgate, Jewish Antiquities
By (author) D. Candido
In the field of Textual criticism of the Bible, synopses are a useful tool to study ancient texts not only by themselves, but also in comparison with each other. In a synopsis, correspondences and similarities, but also differences between individual readings become visible. This synopsis contains six texts of the Book of Esther placed side by side in columns: the Masoretic Text, the Old Greek, the Alpha Text, the Old Latin, the Vulgate and Josephus’ Jewish Antiquities. A technical introduction explains the choice of texts and their editions.
