Greek Versions of the Books of Kings
View through CrossRef
Abstract
This chapter discusses the Greek versions of the books of Kings. It begins with a description of the importance of the Qumran manuscripts and their discovery for understanding the Greek textual witnesses. It then proceeds to a survey of those witnesses by groups: the Hexaplaric text (Alexandrinus, mss. 247 and 346, and the Armenian), the Kaige text (Vaticanus, 121, 509), the Lucianic texts (19 82 93 108 127), and those possibly representing a Hesychian recension. The chapter also covers Chronicles and Paralipomena as witnesses to the Old Greek of Kings, the LXX’s possible exegesis of the Hebrew Masoretic Text. The remaining sections of the chapter address the insight that the Greek versions afford into the process of composition of the books of Kings.
