| Summary: | This chapter aims to elucidate transmission processes - diachronic by definition - attested in the textual witnesses at hand; mainly, the Masoretic text, the biblical scrolls from Qumran, the Septuagint and the Samaritan Pentateuch. Its goal is to make some distinctions in the phases and methods that characterize the textual history of the Hebrew Bible as reflected in these witnesses. The basic process of text transmission in ancient times may be defined as an amorphous process in which the text attracted various changes by different tradents over an undetermined lapse of time. Text-forms are descendants of the same text, but attracted enough changes to be identified as a text-form in its own right. The chapter focuses mainly on the multifarious editions. It presents some general comments on the different editions of the Torah and Jeremiah, and takes a closer look at Samuel and Kings. |
