Abstract

The present volume provides a comparative look at the contents and layout features of secondary annotations in biblical manuscripts across linguistic traditions. Due to the privileged focus on the text in the columns, these annotations and the practices that produced them have not received the scholarly attention they deserve. The vast richness of extant verbal and figurative notes accompanying the biblical texts in the intercolumns and margins of the manuscript pages have thus been largely overlooked.The case studies gathered in this volume explore Jewish and Christian biblical manuscripts through the lens of their annotations, addressing the various relationships between the primary layer of text and the secondary notes, and exploring the roles and functions of annotated manuscripts as cultural artifacts. By approaching biblical manuscripts as potential "notepads", the volume offers theoretical reflection and empirical analyses of the ways in which secondary notes may shed new light on the development and transmission of text traditions, the shifting engagement with biblical manuscripts over time, as well as the change of use and interpretation that may result from the addition of the notes themselves.

Abstract

A "Divining Gospel" is an edition of the Gospel of John designed for use in fortune-telling. These special editions were widespread in Late Antiquity but became suspect, surviving mostly in fragments. Here for the first time is published the text and translation of the divination apparatus from a unique early Syriac Gospel manuscript. This Syriac version enables us to evaluate the nature of this enigmatic material, clarifying its function as both divinatory and interpretive. The present study discusses the controversial place of divination in Christianity and the use of a biblical codes in that practice. An analysis of the Divining Gospel also enables us to capture a portrait of the book's practitioners and the distinctive techniques of biblical interpretation they employed to bring the Gospel's messages to bear on the daily concerns of their clients. This study underscores the significance of the materiality of books for historic Christian practice and opens a window onto a phenomenon that was once common but is presently little understood. It helps us appreciate the diverse and unconventional uses of scripture in popular religious practice. --

Abstract

Between 1973 and 1983 three volumes of collected essays by Willem C. van Unnik appeared under the title Sparsa Collecta . All the essays in these volumes had been published between 1930 and 1970. The editors of the present volume decided to publish a fourth volume with a selection of his later papers, some of which appear here for the first time in English (they were originally published in Dutch).
