Fincati, Mariachiara
The Medieval Revision of the Ambrosian Hexateuch

Critical Editing between Septuaginta and Hebraica Veritas in Ms. Ambrosianus A 147 inf.

At the end of the 11th century the ancient Hexateuch Ms. Ambrosianus A 147 inf. underwent a general restoration: the original majuscule writing was retraced throughout, some lost sheets were replaced, and a great number of variant readings were added, being sometimes preferred to the original text. The purpose of the restoration appears to have been a revision of the Septuagint text in order to make it conform to the Masoretic. Mariachiara Fincati provides a complete analysis of each individual modification by comparing each of them with extant Christian and Jewish Greek translations of the biblical text. 456 Seiten mit drei Abb., gebunden (De Septuaginta Investiationes; Vol. 5/Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht 2016) leichte Lagerspuren/minor shelfwear
