The Syrohexapla is widely believed to be a faithful witness to the
Hexapla of Origen. This Syriac version was produced in the seventh
century on the basis of Greek texts related to Origen's
six-columned masterpiece of biblical scholarship. The signs used in
Origen's Hexapla, as well as the readings of several Greek Jewish
versions which are no longer fully extant, are preserved in this
version. The present study evaluates the Syrohexapla as a witness
to these hexaplaric materials in 3 Kingdoms (1 Kings).The nearly
600 signs preserved in the Syrohexapla are analysed, divided into
correctly marked asterisks, correctly marked obeli, and
inaccurately marked readings. The more than 300 readings attributed
to the Greek Jewish versions are treated separately. Finally, by
including a chapter which examines a portion of the many readings
in the Syrohexapla for which no hexaplaric sign has been preserved,
the author balances assessments of the reliability of the
Syrohexapla for studying the remains of Origen's Hexapla.This study
prepares the way for the author's new critical edition of the
hexaplaric fragments of 3 Kingdoms.
