The volume publishes papers presented at the International
Conference on the Deuterocanonical Books (Papa, Hungary). This
conference dealt with the deuterocanonical additions of the Old
Testament books. As such, this was one of the most extended
discussions of these writings that has ever taken place at a
scholarly meeting. The volume contains articles on the traditions
and theology of the additions, and demonstrates their relationship
with the contemporary literature of early Judaism. Several writings
of the Hebrew Bible - such as Esther, Daniel and Jeremiah - have
different textual forms in the Greek Bible, and these forms display
amplified material compared to the Hebrew versions. These additions
testify to the creative reflection of early Jewish circles on the
basic traditions of these Books and the textual fluidity of the
writings in question. The essays of this volume explore these
additions, their relationship to the Hebrew parent texts, and their
impact on the effective history of the interpretation of later
centuries.
