Shipped professionally in a box. 'Over the years the use of computers for research has become increasingly important in Biblical Studies. However, a combination of computational linguistics with diachronic text-critical and text-historical approaches has hardly ever taken place. Quite often, there is mutual misunderstanding between computational linguistics and more traditional approaches in the field of linguistics and textual analysis. For example, in computer-assisted research of modern text corpora it is common to treat the text as an unequivocal and unidimensional sequence of characters. In Biblical Studies, however, either text is considered an abstraction, the result of a scholarly reconstruction based on the extant textual witnesses. Here a fundamental difference in approach reveals itself. The present volume tries to overcome the misunderstanding between the various disciplines and to establish how a fruitful interaction of information technology, linguistics and textual criticism, can contribute to the analysis of ancient texts. It addresses questions concerning the confrontation between synchronic and diachronic approaches, the role of linguistic analysis in the interpretation of texts, and the interaction of linguistic theory and the analysis of linguistic data. The first section of this volume contains the papers presented at the CALAP seminar 2003. In the second section different aspects of the interdisciplinary analysis are applied to a selected passage from the Peshitta of Kings.' (Publisher's blurb).

Hardcover. Condition: VERY GOOD. Second Edition. 258pp. Perfectbound in printed hard covers. Ex-library with external labels removed; exceedingly clean and sharp with sound binding and little evidence of use. Shipped professionally in a box. 'This is the second edition of a book published as long ago as 1962. The at that time relatively young Dr. A.F.J. Klijn was brought up in the school of W.C. van Unnik and G. Quispel, both in Utrecht. In his book about the Acts of Thomas he tried to demonstrate that this work cannot be reckoned among the Gnostic writings but belongs to the early Syriac or rather Eastern Christian tradition. In the last decades much has been written about Syriac Christianity, which made it necessary to rewrite the original introduction of this book. The commentary has mainly been left as it was, although many additions have been made to its great number of valuable references.' (Publisher's blurb).

Single column text with marginal versification. Verso notes the text is taken with slight alterations from the 1904 Cambridge Peshitta Psalter. A few tidy annotations in pen and pencil in English and Hebrew but otherwise exceedingly clean and sharp. From the personal library of missionary and biblical scholar H. W.

Inscription notes 'From H.F.M', namely his brother, Horace Frederick Moule, the co-editor the Historical Catalogue of Printed Editions of Holy Scripture in the Library of the British and Foreign Bible Society. While the English volume of this excellent Bibliography was updated by A. S. Herbert in 1961, the three 'Polyglot and Languages Other than English' volumes have not been updated H. F. Moule completed them in 1909, and thus do not record this title, the first in a fascicule series of the BFBS's newly edited Ancient Syriac text. A lovely association copy from the great Bible bibliographer to his brother in their home city of Ningpo, China, carrying on the misison work begun by their father.

Hardcover. Condition: Very good+. Two volumes, large 8vo: pp. [16], 966, [6]; [2], 920, [42]. Publisher's light blue cloth. A nearly fine, clean set, with some slight erosion/scuffing at the covers of the second volume. Modern photo-reprint of this celebrated work of early modern biblical scholarship. First published in 1752, it was until the twentieth century regarded as "the most elaborate and valuable of all the critical editions of the New Testament" (Orme). Edited by the scholar, Johann Jakob Wetstein (1693-1754), a scion of the Amsterdam printing family who produced Gerhard von Maestricht's New Testament of 1711, the original edition includes the editio princeps of two pseudepigraphic works ascribed to Saint Clement of Rome, which survive in Syriac. At his native city of Basel in 1713, Wetstein defended a thesis on the various readings of the New Testament. "After collating MSS. in various libraries, he at length obtained in 1733 a professorship in the Remonstrants' college at Amsterdam, in succession to Le Clerc. In 1730 the Wettstein press published his Prolegomena anonymously, and in 1735 he edited for the same firm a revision of G. v. Maestricht's Testament. At length in 1751-2 he produced the critical edition at which he had been labouring for many years. Perhaps in deference to the opinions of his friends, Wettstein did not print in his edition the text of Codex A (as he seems at first to have intended), or a recension of his own, but merely reproduced the Elzevir text with very few variations. Immediately below, however, he indicated the changes which he considered absolutely necessary, from which it is easy to construct 'Wettsteins's text.' Nearly all these proposed changed -- which, according to Reuss, number 159 -- had appeared in previous editions, and are generally accepted do-day. [.] Below this matter stands the critical apparatus, the most elaborate which had yet been published, giving innumerable variants, and citing as authorities for and against these a vast body of witnesses -- MSS., versions, early fathers, and printed editions. Wettstein introduced the practice of indicating uncial MSS. by roman letters and cursive MSS. by arabic numerals. In the revised and enlarged Prolegomena preceding the text, which give some account of his labours and controversies, Wettstein displays a marked antipathy to all the earliest MSS., which he suspected of having been corrupted by the Latin versions. The Animadversiones at the end of vol. 2 are more temperate, and possess higher value. A distinctive feature of the book is the commentary printed at the foot of the page. This forms a curious treasury of notes, illustrating both the matter and the language of the inspired writers by copious extracts from all kinds of authors -- classical, patristic, and rabbinic".

Orme, Bibliotheca Biblica, 465: "Wetsteins's merits as a critic,' says Dr. Marsh, "undoubtedly surpass the merits of his predecessors: he alone contributed more to advance the criticism of the Greek Testament than all who had gone before him: and this task he performed, not only without support, either public or private, but during a series of severe trials, under which a mind of less energy than Wetstein's would infallibly have sunk."
