Leiden 1996 Hardcover First Edition Near Fine. No Jacket 25 x 17 cm. NOTE: This is vol. 2 (of 2) only: pp. 641-1307. Bibliography, general Index Locorum. One of the earliest and ... most important works of biblical interpretation is the Latin text commonly known as the "Liber Antiquitatum Biblicarum" (LAB). It was written in the first second century C.E. and is thus a great source of illumination for the period and milieu out of which arose various Jewish sects and Christianity. Volume 2 contains the continuation of the author's commentary begun in volume 1 (the latter contains an introduction, the Latin text with a new English translation, and the first part of the author's commentary in 640 pages). The author seeks to illuminate the LAB by reconstructing the original Hebrew when that is useful, and by bringing new and pertinent evidence from the Bible, from Rabbinic literature, and from early Christian literature. CONDITION: In near fine condition: small bump to upper corner of rear board and small area black Read more Show Less

Editorial Reviews

Bruce Fisk
...Jacobson devotes much of his creative energy to matters of reconstruction, retroversion, and conjectural emendation. The result is a critical commentary on a meticulously reconstructed text...that incorporates innumerable proposals about the evolution of the textual tradition. No future discussion of LAB’s autographs or textual history can ignore this work.
— Society of Biblical Literature
Booknews
The "LAB" is important for the history of biblical exegesis, for understanding of Jewish life and thought in the first century (centuries) of our era, and for knowledge of the New Testament and early Christianity. The author's translation is from the (reconstructed) Hebrew original; thus it differs substantively from other translations which are based on a Latin translation of a Greek translation of a Hebrew original. The new translation appears here in this two-volume set with D.J. Harrington's Latin text, and with the author's extensive commentary. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
