Synopsis
An Attempt Towards An Improved Version, A Metrical Arrangement, And An Explanation Of The Twelve Minor Prophets, By W. Newcome. Now Enlarged With Additional Notes, And A Comparison Of The Chief Various Renderings Of Dr. Horsley, On Hosea, And Dr. Blayney, On Zechariah by William Newcome presents a detailed critical commentary and textual apparatus on Zechariah and Malachi with verse-by-verse notes, variant readings, philological points, and cross-references to other scriptures and early commentators. This modern facsimile edition preserves Newcome's approach to a more exact and lucid English translation while respecting Hebrew poetics and preserving proper names. The material covers Zechariah chapters V–XIV and Malachi chapters I–IV, including accompanying critical notes, readings, and interpretive glosses, and situates the post-exilic setting within debates on dating, authorship, and the relationship to Jeremiah and the broader prophetic corpus. The volume also provides editor's prefatory material and a substantial apparatus of readings from Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, and Syriac sources, with marginal notes, and discussions of variant readings and interpretive options. It notes themes of restoration, messianic expectation, temple worship, covenant theology, and eschatology.
