The Relationships Between The Many Different Versions Of Tobit Present A Famous And Important Problem For Text-critics And Historians Of Judaism; However, Study Of The Subject Has Been Hindered By The Lack Of Any Single, Reliable Collection. This Book Brings Together, For The First Time, A Wide Range Of Texts (greek, Latin, Hebrew, Aramaic, Syriac), Some Previously Overlooked Or Virtually Inaccessible, Based In Many Cases On New Readings. A Single System Of Verse Numeration Is Applied To All, And The Key Versions Are Presented Synoptically, To Facilitate Comparison. Introductions And Critical Notes Are Provided For Each Text, Along With Succinct Observations On The Relationships Between Them In Each Passage, And Concordances To Assist Stylistic And Linguistic Study. 1.

Das Fehlen einer verlässlichen Textzusammenstellung erschwert eine Untersuchung dieses Problems. In diesem Band werden erstmals die maßgeblichen griechischen, lateinischen, hebräischen, aramäischen und syrischen Versionen (manche bislang übersehen oder praktisch unzugänglich) zusammengestellt und teilweise mit verbesserten Lesarten geboten. Ein einheitliches Verszählungssystem und die synoptische Darstellung der wichtigsten Versionen erleichtern den Vergleich. Mit Einführungen, kritischem Apparat, Kommentaren zum Verhältnis der Versionen und ausführlichen Konkordanzen The Book of Tobit is an ancient story, set amongst the diaspora communities of Nineveh and Media after the fall of the Northern Kingdom.
