Synopsis

Unlock the textual puzzle of the Peshitta Chronicles with a scholar’s careful apparatus. This edition surveys early manuscripts and how they shape the Chronicles in the Peshitta, offering a clear view of the methods used to compare Codex Ambrosianus with other sources. It centers on practical questions about text transmission, manuscript authority, and the challenges of editing a Septuagint-era text in Syriac script.

From the Preface and Introduction, you’ll see how a single manuscript can influence our understanding of readings, how scholars weigh evidence, and what a modern apparatus contributes to historical criticism. The book explains the goals, limits, and decisions behind building a critical edition, while highlighting the key MSS and their readings that inform the discussion.

• How scholars judge variants among Codex Ambrosianus, Buchanan Bible, and other primary manuscripts.


• What counts as significant variation in a Peshitta text and why some readings matter more than others.


• Which passages show updating or corruption across different witnesses and what that implies for scholars.


• How Nestorian and West Syrian traditions interact with the printed text in Chronicles.

Ideal for readers of textual criticism, Syriac studies, and the history of biblical transmission who want a concrete look at method and evidence in a focused case study.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Leopold is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works.

This means that we have checked every single page in every title, making it highly unlikely that any material imperfections – such as poor picture quality, blurred or missing text - remain. When our staff observed such imperfections in the original work, these have either been repaired, or the title has been excluded from the Leopold Classic Library catalogue.
