The Ancient Coptic Version Of The Book Of Job The Just is a book written by Henry Tattam and published in 1846. This book is a translation of the ancient Coptic version of the Book of Job, which is a part of the Old Testament. The Coptic language was used by the early Christians in Egypt, and this version of the Book of Job is believed to have been translated from the Greek version of the Bible. The Book of Job is a story about a man named Job who faces many hardships and challenges in his life, including the loss of his family and possessions. Despite these difficulties, Job remains faithful to God and is eventually rewarded for his faithfulness.

He also includes an introduction that provides background information about the Coptic language and the history of the translation of the Bible into this language. Additionally, Tattam provides notes throughout the text that help to explain difficult passages and provide context for the reader.Overall, The Ancient Coptic Version Of The Book Of Job The Just is an important resource for anyone interested in the history of the Bible and the early Christian church.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

It may perhaps be sufficient to state here, that the Coptic Version of the Scriptures was made at a very early period of the Christian era. This Version of the Old Testament, like all the other ancient Versions of it, was made from the Greek Text, and not from the original Hebrew. The Coptic Version of the Book of Job is now for the first time presented to the public, through the medium of the press. It has been printed from a separate Manuscript of that Book, in Coptic and A rabic in parallel columns, as far as Chap. xix. v. 23, where the A rabic ceases. This was copied, while I was in Egypt, from an ancient one in the Patriarch slibrary in Cairo. I afterwards collated it, while in Malta, in June 1839, with an old Manuscript in Coptic, belonging to the Rev. Mr. Schleinz; and I have since collated it with another ancient Manuscript in Coptic, without an A rabic translation, kindly presented to me i by Lord Prudhoe, since my return from Egypt. I therefore believe the text is as perfect as Manuscripts would enable me to make it.
