The Slavonic Book of Esther: Text, Lexicon, Linguistic Analysis, Problems of Translation.
Horace G. Lunt and Moshe TaubeThe Old Testament Book of Esther in Slavonic Translation is known from East Slavic manuscripts of the late fourteenth to late sixteenth centuries. Working from the Masoretic Hebrew texts and Greek translations, Lunt and Taube examine textological clues to the circumstances of Esther's translation, sources, and redactions. This study creates a solid basis from which scholars can now discuss the particulars of this important translation, the nature of East Slavic biblical translating activity, and the relationship of old East Slavic bookmen to Hebrew and Greek. This book will be of interest to philologists and cultural religious historians alike. The edition contains a full redaction with variants, a word index, grammatical analysis, verse-by-verse commentary, and discussion of vocabulary of selected semantic fields, not only of the Book of Esther, but of comparable texts.
