Unlock the mysteries of biblical names and how they travel through translations.
This scholarly volume delves into the Septuagint and other versions, illustrating how proper names are rendered and understood across languages. It blends careful philology with practical notes, helping readers see why a single name can look different in Greek, Hebrew, and later texts.
Scripture Onomatology offers a clear, reader‑friendly guide to word origins, transcription changes, and the history of textual alterations. It features two appendices that examine alterations and scribal errors, making sense of long‑standing textual puzzles without getting lost in theory. The work is ideal for anyone curious about how translations shape the Bible’s geography, people, and place names.Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a thorough study of the altered and Hellenised forms in which many Bible names appear in their English, Greek, Latin, and other forms. Many of these names have undergone such extensive changes that they are hardly recognisable as the same words as their Hebrew counterparts. This book explains these variations by various linguistic principles, many of which have sprung from different linguistic principles. This work explores the substitution of grammatical suffixes, the effects of assimilation and corruption, and the variation of one or more letters for another which often indicate corrections by those who thought terminations were grammatical suffixes.
