Más información sobre el libro

Focusing on the intricate textual history of the Hebrew Bible, particularly in 1 and 2 Kings, this study examines the significance of Latin sources alongside Hebrew and Greek texts. Tuukka Kauhanen analyzes the fourth-century writings of Lucifer of Cagliari, who frequently cites Kings and offers insights from lost Greek and Hebrew manuscripts. By comparing these quotations with existing textual evidence, the book establishes Lucifer's critical role as a textual witness and addresses various issues related to the earliest form of the Kings texts.
