Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a facsimile edition of a Greek manuscript of the biblical books Deuteronomy and Joshua, originally part of a complete Bible. The author, an academic specialist in ancient texts, discusses the manuscript's likely origins in Greek monasteries of the fifth and sixth centuries, as well as its journey to a Coptic monastery, where it was utilized by monks proficient in both Greek and Coptic. The volume explores intriguing questions about the manuscript's creation and circulation, shedding light on the transmission of biblical texts and the transition from papyrus to parchment in the early Christian era. The author argues that the manuscript was produced in a region where Greek was still a living language and that its unique characteristics, such as its uncial script and lack of page headings, suggest an early date of origin. Additionally, the author examines the manuscript's text, noting its distinctive readings and variants and engaging in a detailed analysis of its textual tradition. This book is a valuable resource for scholars of biblical studies and early Christianity, offering new insights into the development and dissemination of the biblical text and providing a glimpse into the practices of ancient scribes and the religious communities they served. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
