Description
The finding of the pronounced divine name freely used in a LXX MS from
Qumran "has left many scholars baffled" (Kristin De Troyer). This name is
best known from gnostic and magical sources, but till now no one has
provided a history of its background prior to its move into these genres,
necessary for placing it in the LXX's textual tradition and understanding
the chronology of the gradual disuse of God's name in non-mystical
contexts. This book presents new evidence (especially onomastic and
classical) for, and reveals problems with prior scholarship's positions
on, the continued non-mystical pronunciation of the divine name among some
within second temple period Judaism, and precisely when the name Iao moved
into the mystical sphere. Key matters addressed include the divine name's
forms in the LXX and NT. The work also contains the first English
translation and commentary of Byzantine polymath John Lydus' chapter on
the Jewish God from De mensibus 4.53.
