Selected Greek, Syriac, Latin, and Hebrew Manuscripts
View through CrossRef
In this chapter, we contextualize the data of the canon lists further by listing the contents of significant manuscripts in the Greek, Syriac, Latin, and Hebrew traditions. These manuscripts help the reader further understand the problems raised by the lists themselves. For example, a typical canon list will only mention ‘Daniel’, but the manuscripts clarify that under this title were also included the books of Susanna and Bel and the Dragon. When the lists and the manuscripts are read and analysed together, the reader can further conceptualize the contents of the canon. Furthermore, a codex typically contains more books than the normal canon list catalogues. This means that the codex does not equal the canon, putting into relief the narrow contents of the lists against the background of wider manuscript contents.
