The Life of Adam and Eve in Greek
A Critical Edition
Series: - Pseudepigrapha Veteris Testamenti Graece, Volume: 6
Author:
This volume contains the first critical edition of the Life of Adam and Eve in Greek, based on all available manuscripts. In the introduction the history of previous research is summarized, and the extant manuscripts are presented. Next comes a description of the grammatical characteristics of the manuscriptsâ texts, followed by a detailed study of the genealogical relationships between them, resulting in a reconstruction of the writingâs history of transmission in Greek. On the basis of all this information, the Greek text of the Life of Adam and Eve in its earliest attainable stage, is established. The text edition is accompanied by a full critical apparatus, in which all relevant evidence from the manuscripts is recorded. Several indices complete this volume.
Johannes Tromp, Ph.D. (1992), is Lecturer of Judaism in the Greco-Roman period at Leiden University.
'The fruit of several years of study, this critical edition is to be warmly welcomedâ¦'
