Description and Table of Contents
Description
The Peshit ta as a Translation contains the eleven papers which were read at the Second Peshit ta Symposium, held in Leiden 19-21 August 1993, as well as two reports on the ongoing work on the Peshit ta in Stellenbosch and Leiden, and as, an Appendix, an update of the Annotated Bibliography of the Peshit ta of the Old Testament (MPI 5, 1989).
The papers discuss various aspects of the Peshit ta as a Translation: its translation technique(s), its relation to Septuagint and Targum, its language, and its use for text-critical purposes. This new addition to the MPI-series will be important for scholars who are engaged in research of the Peshit ta, and in the history of the Old Testament text, as well as for Syriacists.
