Procopius of Gaza wrote a major commentary on most of the historical books of the Old Testament (CPG 7430). This volume presents the first section, devoted to Genesis, for the first time in the complete Greek text. Amidst Procopius's continuous text we find a collection of excerpts that is of extraordinary value as a source in places where the original work was lost due to Council decisions or historical events. Prokop von Gaza (ca. 465/470-526/530) verfasste einen großen Kommentar zu den meisten Geschichtsbüchern des Alten Testaments (CPG 7430, bisher fälschlich als Catena in Octateuchum oder Catena in Heptateuchum bezeichnet). Hier wird die kritische Edition des ersten Teil, des Genesiskommentars, vorgelegt; sie enthält zum ersten Mal den vollständigen griechischen Text.Hinter dem fortlaufenden Texts Prokops verbirgt sich eine Sammlung von Exzerpten aus der Bibelexegese der griechischen Kirchenväter, die man zu seiner Zeit für die gültige Auslegung des Alten Testaments hielt. Besonderen Quellenwert haben diejenigen Exzerpte, für die sich in der uns erhaltenen Überlieferung keine Vorlage, oft nicht einmal der Name des Autors, identifizieren lässt; hier verbergen sich Fragmente, die in ihrer vollständigen Fassung verloren gegangen sind, sei es, weil ihre Verfasser auf späteren Konzilien zu Ketzern erklärt wurden, sei es, weil (gerade bei orientalischen Autoren) die vollständigen Handschriften während der arabischen Eroberung verloren gingen. Das Werk ist daher eine wichtige Quelle für alle, die sich mit der Älteren Kirchengeschichte oder die Exegese des Alten Testaments beschäftigen. Die mit Anmerkungen versehene deutsche Übersetzung der Editorin ist als Band N.F. 23 in der neuen Unterreihe „Übersetzungen / Translations“ der „Griechischen christlichen Schriftsteller“ erschienen.

The Elusive Covenant takes a fresh look at the book of Genesis, at the foundational text of the Hebrew bible. Uniting the studies of literary form, sign theory, and kinship structures, Terry J. Prewitt demonstrates the close relationship between the unfolding genealogies and the narrative structures of Genesis. The links between kinship structure and narrative structure, fashioned from diverse written and oral sources, underscore the sense of Genesis as a political document, created by a particular priesthood. The ingenious and informed method of The Elusive Covenant breaks from traditional biblical analysis. Prewitt's "whole-text" perspective and his search for a unified structure in Genesis results in innovative character treatments and a rich appreciation of the scriptural integration of history, social depiction, and spatial representation. At the same time, the author remains cognizant of source-critical and form-critical approaches. Overall, Prewitt's detailed analyses and broad interpretation establish important new connections between Genesis and other biblical scriptures (Exodus, Numbers, Joshua, and so on) and lead to conclusions of broad significance for those in the fields of anthropology, religion, and semiotics.

The Vienna Genesis (Austrian National Library, Codex Theologicus graecus 31) is a fragmentary Greek manuscript of the Book of Genesis written on purple dyed parchment with silver ink. It is assumed that the book was created in the first half of the 6th century in the Near East. 24 folios with 48 miniatures have survived and have been stored at the Austrian National Library since 1664. The Vienna Genesis is famous for its rich cycle of biblical illuminations. The silver ink's degradation, which has resulted in extensive damage to the parchment, was already observed in the 17th century. In a three-year research project the parchment, the silver inks, the pigments and dyes were investigated. The detailed material analysis formed the base for conservation and preservation of the manuscript. The book describes the different studies of the project and their results: How was parchment made in Late Antiquity? How was parchment dyed purple? What is the purple dye of the Vienna Genesis? What is the composition of the silver ink and what are the causes of the severe damage? Which pigments were used by the different painters? How can the Vienna Genesis be best conserved for the future?

Altogether 46 essays in honour of Professor Raija Sollamo contribute to explore various aspects of the rich textual material around the turn of the era. At that time Scripture was not yet fixed; various writings and collections of writings were considered authoritative but their form was more or less in transition. The appearance of the first biblical translations are part of this transitional process. The Septuagint in particular provides us evidence and concrete examples of those textual traditions and interpretations that were in use in various communities. Furthermore, several biblical concepts, themes and writings were reinterpreted and actualised in the Dead Sea Scrolls, illuminating the transitions that took place in one faction of Judaism. The topics of the contributions are divided into five parts: Translation and Interpretation; Textual History; Hebrew and Greek Linguistics; Dead Sea Scrolls; Present-Day.
