This book examines conditionals in the Greek Pentateuch from the
point of view of the study of translation syntax. It takes
seriously into account the double character of Septuagintal Greek,
both as a translation from Hebrew and as vernacular Greek.
Methodologically, the underlying Hebrew is taken as the point of
departure in close comparison with the resultant translation, with
the purpose of examining major features in the translators handling
of this complex construction. These include the rendering of verbal
and non-verbal forms in the protasis and apodosis, the question of
sense-division between the two constituent clauses, the influence
of genre or discourse type and interference from the underlying
form or structure. Detailed analyses of the resultant translation
displays features that are natural Greek, on the one hand, and
features that betray the character of 'translation-language', on
the other hand, owing to interference from the source text. The
latter manifests itself most conspicuously in renderings that are
ungrammatical or unnatural, and, in a more subtle way, through
equivalents which are grammatically acceptable but occur with a
strikingly high frequency in the Septuagint as compared with
original Greek compositions contemporary with the Septuagint. Over
the last 30 years, this pioneering series has established an
unrivaled reputation for cutting-edge international scholarship in
Biblical Studies and has attracted leading authors and editors in
the field. The series takes many original and creative approaches
to its subjects, including innovative work from historical and
theological perspectives, social-scientific and literary theory,
and more recent developments in cultural studies and reception
history.
