Et sapienter et eloquenter: Studies on Rhetorical and Stylistic Features of the Septuagint (Forschungen Zur Religion Und Literatur Des Alten Und Neuen Testaments) - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

This volume considers the question whether the translators of the Septuagint might have used their rhetorical and stylistic skills in order to make their texts appear wise and eloquent. Over the last years the Septuagint has gradually edged closer into the interest of Biblical scholars and into the centre of historical and philological research. The question which has hardly been studied so far is to what extent the Greek translation of the Bible consists of stylistic and rhetorical elements that are not present in the Hebrew source text. This issue is taken up in this collected volume. Seven scholars investigate into stylistic and rhetorical elements present in various books of the Bible and establish a field of work that deserves to receive more attention in the future. Contributors are E. Bons, J.M. Dines, K. Hauspie, J. Joosten, T.J. Kraus, A. Léonas and K. Usener.
