The articles in this volume originated from lectures given in two
meetings devoted to the Samaritans. The first was the sixth
conference of the SociA(c)tA(c) da (TM)Etudes Samaritaines, which
took place at the University of Haifa in July 2004. The second
meeting was part of the SBL International Conference in Vienna,
July 2007.The volume reflects the current state of research on the
Samaritans. It presents a wide spectrum of approaches, including
historical questions, the political, religious and social context
of the Samaritans in the past and present, linguistic approaches,
the role of the Samaritans in the Talmudic literature, and
questions of identity of the Samaritans up to now, to name just a
few.
The essays in this compendium examine Late-Biblical writings dating
from the Hellenistic period that relate to religion and society. A
focus is placed on threat scenarios and on the drawing of
differences to the Hellenistic environment and the question of
identity for believers during the pre-Christian centuries.
The volume presents a collection of the studies produced by the
exegetist Friedrich V. Reiterer (Salzburg) from his many years of
intensive work on The Wisdom of Ben Sira (Ecclesiasticus). The
individual studies have been revised and the numbering of the
passages brought in line with the "ZAhlsynopse zum Buch Ben Sira"
(Colometric Synopsis of the Wisdom of Ben Sira) edited by Reiterer
in 2002.
Because of different versions in Hebrew and Greek manuscripts
pertaining to Ben Sira, the text editions in common use partly
conform to the Greek text, but some of them restore the original
organization or use a new enumeration. The intention behind this
synoptic enumeration is to dispel the confusion caused by differing
enumerations. The synopsis is based on a reconceptualized
multilingual text edition (Hebrew, Syriac, Greek, and Latin) with
continuous numbering that essentially adopts and complements the
Greek text in accordance with Ziegler's classic edition. This book
integrates Greek editions (Ziegler, Swete, and Rahlfs), the Hebrew
editions (Sefer, Beentjes), the Syriac edition (de Largarde,
Mossul, Ambrosianus, Calduch-Benages, and Liesen, Peshitta-Institut
in Leiden), the Latin edition (Rome and Stuttgart), the standard
translation, the revised Luther text, the New Revised English
Standard Version, and Sauer/JSHRZ.
