Isaac Casaubon (1559-1614) was one of Europe’s greatest Protestant scholars during the late Renaissance and was renowned for his expert knowledge of the early history of the church. Today, however, most of Casaubon’s books remain unread, and much of his vast archive remains unexplored. Grafton and Weinberg’s close examination of his papers reveal for the first time that Casaubon’s scholarship was broader and richer than anyone has previously suspected, and they present a Casaubon not found in earlier literature: one who used Jewish materials to illuminate, and at times to transform, scholars’ understanding of of early Christianity; and one who, at the end of his life, worked with a little-known Jewish scholar in order to master parts of the Talmud, which few Christians could study on their own. Most importantly , this book shows that a Christian scholar of the European Renaissance could explore—and develop striking sympathy and affection for—the alien world and worship of the Jews.

The concern of these studies is with how the exercise of critical methods can be reconciled with the assumption that the Hebrew Bible is a Christian book. With Andrew of St Victor this concern is expressed as a robust, human and historical interest. William Fulke, influenced by Renaissance linguistic science, asserted that the quality of a translation from Hebrew into English is determined entirely by scholarly competence and integrity. Gregory Martin accepted the idea of an English translation with the greatest reluctance; he even rejected Fulke's demand for a return to the 'original' languages of Hebrew and Greek, and translated from the Latin Vulgate. McKane thus reviews the shifts in the Church's understanding of the nature and authority of its scriptures, particularly the Old Testament, and shows how the beginnings of the critical scholarship of modern times is connected with, and has grown out of, that change in understanding.

Alfred Rahlfs (1865–1935) is among the most important textual philologists of the 20th century. His wide-ranging works in researching and editing the Greek Old Testament, known as the Septuagint, are still regarded as groundbreaking today. For the first time, this monograph comprehensively presents Rahlfs’s writings in their biographical and historical context. Mit dem Namen von Alfred Rahlfs verbindet sich vor allem seine 1935 erschienene ‚Handausgabe', die noch immer als weltweit gebrauchte Standardedition der Septuaginta gilt. Demgegenüber geriet sein umfassendes wissenschaftliches Gesamtœuvre zunehmend in Vergessenheit, während seine Biographie bis heute weitgehend im Verborgenen geblieben ist. In der vorliegenden Monographie wird zum ersten Mal der Versuch unternommen, die gesamte Vielfalt der Rezensionen, Abhandlungen und Textausgaben von Rahlfs einer detaillierten werkgeschichtlichen Analyse zu unterziehen, an die sich eine synthetische Rekonstruktion seiner textkritischen und editionsphilologischen Methodik anschließt. Auf diese Weise werden die bahnbrechenden Erkenntnisse dieses großen Göttinger Gelehrten in ihrer bis ins 21. Jahrhundert reichenden wissenschaftsgeschichtlichen Bedeutung für die Erforschung und kritische Edition des Septuaginta-Textes transparent, deren Verankerung in der Editionsphilologie des 19. Jh. ebenso wie ihre im institutionellen Rahmen des 1908 gegründeten Septuaginta-Unternehmens der Göttinger Akademie der Wissenschaften sich vollziehende Weiterentwicklung aus der erstmaligen vollständigen Darstellung seiner Biographie ersichtlich werden.

No biblical historian is included in the standard dictionaries of historians. Banks' study examines the boundaries as well as the links that exists between history writing in biblical studies and the practice of history in university departments of history. She argues that while the influence of the profession of writing history is apparent, there are countervailing forces as well. The presupposition that the Bible is a book of history conditions the outcome of historical research in biblical studies. Banks argues that Julius Wellhausen's history of Israel set in motion the general tendency to
