The first half of the book of Daniel contains world-famous stories
like the Writing on the Wall. These stories have mostly been
transmitted in Aramaic, not Hebrew, as has the influential
apocalypse of Daniel 7. This Aramaic corpus shows clear signs of
multiple authorship. Which different textual layers can we tease
apart, and what do they tell us about the changing function of the
Danielic material during the Second Temple Period? This monograph
compares the Masoretic Text of Daniel to ancient manuscripts and
translations preserving textual variants. By highlighting tensions
in the reconstructed archetype underlying all these texts, it then
probes the tales' prehistory even further, showing how Daniel
underwent many transformations to yield the book we know today.
