Synopsis

New insights into the Hebrew text of Samuel, with notes on paleography and ancient versions
This scholarly work, by the late S. R. Driver, blends textual criticism with philology to illuminate the books of Samuel. It adds an Introduction on Hebrew palaeography and the ancient versions, plus facsimiles of inscriptions to broaden the reader’s understanding of how biblical texts were transmitted and read.

The book is written for learners who have moved beyond beginner Hebrew and want to see how textual decisions are made. It emphasizes how ancient translations and inscriptions can inform modern readings, and it includes study apparatus that supports deeper exploration of the text and its history.


  • Foundations of Hebrew palaeography and how it affects interpretation

  • How ancient versions (like the Septuagint) influence text restoration

  • Appendices with inscription material and commentary to aid understanding

  • Guidance for students on the grounds and principles of textual criticism



Ideal for readers of biblical studies, theology students, and scholars seeking a rigorous, example-driven approach to the Samuel corpus.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
