The authority of canonical texts, especially of the Bible, is often
described in static definitions. However, the authority of these
texts was acquired as well as exercised in a dynamic process of
transmission and reception. This book analyzes selected aspects of
this historical process. Attention is paid to biblical master-texts
and to other texts related to the "biblical worlds" in various
historical periods and contexts. The studies examine particular
texts, textual variants, translations, paraphrases and other
elements in the process of textual transmission. The range covered
spans from the Iron Age, through the Old Testament texts, their
manuscripts and other texts from Qumran, the Septuagint, down to
the New Testament, Apocrypha, Coptic texts, Patristics, and even
modern translations of the Bible. The book is particularly intended
for those interested in the history of reception and transmission
of biblical texts and in the textual criticism.
