Studies in the Peshitta of Kings

The Transmission and Revision of the Text, Relations with other Texts, and Translation Features

af Donald Walter

This monograph examines the manuscript variants of the Peshitta (the standard Syriac translation) of Kings, with special attention to the manuscript 9a1. Manuscript 9a1 is of critical importance for the textual history of Kings, and Walter argues that there is overwhelming evidence that the non-9a1 Mss attest to an extensive revision.
