(This volume deals with the Septuagint version of Isaiah 2...)
This volume deals with the Septuagint version of Isaiah 23, "The Oracle of Tyre". The text of this chapter is used as an illustration of a comprehensive method of analysis which is described in the first part of the book. Following a study of the Masoretic text the Septuagint version is dealt with from several points of view: in comparison with the Masoretic text; as a text in its own right; as to its genre ("vision"); and concerning its Hebrew Vorlage. Attention is also paid to the Isaiah texts from Qumran. The last section of the book contains a chapter on the reception of LXX Isaiah 23 in patristic commentaries and also an appendix of text critical notes on Isaiah 23 according to the principles of the "Biblica Hebraica Quinta".

(This volume contains the papers presented at the Leiden C...)
This volume contains the papers presented at the Leiden Conference on Canonization and Decanonization, held in January 1997. The emphasis is on the processes of canonization and decanonization in several religions, and on the phenomenon of religious canons. The two sections discuss (de)canonization and the history of religions, and (de)canonization and modern society. In the first section, processes out of which canons eventually emerge are highlighted in contributions devoted to particular religions, such as African religions, Judaism and Christianity, Islam, Buddhism and Zoroastrianism. The articles in the second section are of particular relevance to the contemporary situation in the Western world. They deal with aspects such as forms of the survival of a canon in processes of modernization, canonization and the challenge of plurality, and canonization and hermeneutics.
