About this title

Synopsis

An Attempt Towards An Improved Version, A Metrical Arrangement, And An Explanation Of The Twelve Minor Prophets by Abp. William Newcome is a scholarly edition that aims to produce an improved English rendering of the Twelve Minor Prophets. It offers verse-by-verse translation accompanied by extensive notes, apparatus on Hebrew texts, discussion of textual variants, linguistic analysis, and guidance on metre. The work advocates a unified translation plan, consistent renderings of key terms, preservation of parallelism and biblical diction, and the retention of ancient or ecclesiastical terminology where appropriate. Its preface and body emphasize the prophetic purpose—calling Israel to faithful worship, addressing idolatry and social injustice, and presenting themes of exile, restoration, and, in places like Micah and Zechariah, messianic expectation. The volume situates each book within the historical contexts of Israel and Judah, Assyria and Babylon, and engages manuscript history and ancient versions (Septuagint, Syriac, etc.) through extensive textual criticism and philological notes. It targets scholars and students of biblical languages, theology, and biblical interpretation through its critical apparatus and methodical analysis.
