Synopsis

A close, scholarly edition of Joshua that traces textual variants across recensions and traditions.

This work analyzes how the K Text of Joshua presents the Hebrew narrative, comparing it with other sources and showing how scribes condensed and altered geographical notes and lists. It explains the editorial choices behind variant readings and how the text evolved through different recensions.

  • Identifies the main textual witnesses, including the K recension and Origen’s recensions, and explains their influence on the book’s wording.
  • Describes condensation techniques used by scribes to shorten or reorder place names and geographical notices.
  • Offers a careful apparatus of variants, with notes on where readings diverge and why editors favor certain forms.
  • Guides readers through the editorial method so they can assess how the text arrived at its present form.
Ideal for students and researchers of biblical text criticism, textual history, and the Hebrew Bible’s transmission.
