Abstract

  

This part of the study (Part 1) offers a detailed comparison of a section of Sirach as it appears in the Nova Vulgata, the Septuagint, the Peshitta, and the extant Hebrew witnesses, as well as in other earlier standard and scholarly editions of the Vulgate. As such, Part 1 represents a contribution to our under standing of the earliest form of this section of Sirach and of its earliest interpretation. It also provides the data for Part 2 (forthcoming), an analysis and evaluation of the Nova Vulgata’s text-critical decisions and of their consistency with statements regarding this issue made in the Nova Vulgata itself.

Keywords: Sirach, Ecclesiasticus, Masada, Peshitta, Vulgate, Vetus Latina, Nova Vulgata
