What is Scribes and Translators: Septuagint and Old Latin in the Books of Kings (Supplements to Vetus Testamentum) about?

This is a critical reflection on textual pluralism as reflected in the book of Kings. The first part of the book examines the diverse texts transmitted by the manuscripts. Special attention is paid to the Antiochene text of the Septuagint that is being edited in Madrid. The second part is devoted to the analysis of old Latin readings, transmitted by a Spanish family of Vulgate Bibles, with no support in any of the known manuscripts. Finally, the complete evidence is discussed by the Qumran documents for those books. Based on old Latin material, this work sheds light on the text transmission of Kings and on the translation techniques and the history of the Biblical texts in general.
