Biblical Hebrew, Biblical Texts: Essays in Memory of Michael P. Weitzman (Journal for the Study of the Old Testament Supplement Series, 333)

A collection of articles by distinguished scholars of the Hebrew Bible and its ancient versions commemorating the work of the late Dr Michael Weitzman. This collection focusses on the Hebrew Bible, its ancient Versions and textual history. These are the fields in which the late Dr Weitzman had made his name, and the volume commemorates his lifetime's work, so prematurely ended. But it also stands on its own as an authoritative statement of current research in these and closely related fields. Contributors include Edward Ullendorff, Andrew Macintosh, Robert Gordon, Hugh Williamson, Gillian Greenberg, Jan Joosten, Sebastian Brock, Michael Knibb, Philip Alexander, George Brooke and Alison Salvesen.Left hand .pdf Table of Contents only sequentially displays text pages - i.e., there are no chapter or chapter sub-heading links.
