Synopsis

This volume gathers thirteen essays offered in honor of Stephen Pisano (1946-2019), Jesuit and professor of Textual Criticism at the Pontifical Biblical Institute in Rome. The contributions come from his peers, renowned scholars of Textual Criticism, who address specific text-critical problems in various biblical books. The reader is offered the chance to peek into the text-critics' workshop and admire the complexity and subtlety of their work. Much more than a simple necessary task, Textual Criticism is fundamental to the biblical enterprise and is a lively and stimulating discipline.
