Notes on the Hebrew Text of the Books of Samuel: With an Introduction on Hebrew Palaeography and the Ancient Versions, and Facsimiles of Inscriptions (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
New insights into the Hebrew text of Samuel, with notes on paleography and ancient versions
This scholarly work, by the late S. R. Driver, blends textual criticism with philology to illuminate the books of Samuel. It adds an Introduction on Hebrew palaeography and the ancient versions, plus facsimiles of inscriptions to broaden the reader’s understanding of how biblical texts were transmitted and read.
The book is written for learners who have moved beyond beginner Hebrew and want to see how textual decisions are made. It emphasizes how ancient translations and inscriptions can inform modern readings, and it includes study apparatus that supports deeper exploration of the text and its history.
- Foundations of Hebrew palaeography and how it affects interpretation
- How ancient versions (like the Septuagint) influence text restoration
- Appendices with inscription material and commentary to aid understanding
- Guidance for students on the grounds and principles of textual criticism
Ideal for readers of biblical studies, theology students, and scholars seeking a rigorous, example-driven approach to the Samuel corpus.
