JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Rereading the Mishnah: A New Approach to Ancient
Book SynopsisJudith Hauptman argues that the Tosefta, a collection dating from approximately the same time period as the Mishnah and authored by the same rabbis, is not later than the Mishnah, as its name suggests, but earlier. The Redactor of the Mishnah drew upon an old Mishnah and its associated supplement, the Tosefta, when composing his work. He reshaped, reorganized and abbreviated these materials in order to make them accord with his own legislative outlook. It is possible to compare the earlier and the later texts and to determine, case by case, the agenda of the Redactor. According to the author's theory it is also possible to trace the evolution of Jewish law, practice, and ideas. When the Mishnah is seen as later than the Tosefta, it becomes clear that the Redactor inserted numerous mnemonic devices into his work to assist in transmission. The synoptic gospels may have undergone a similar kind of editing.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Übersetzung des Talmud Yerushalmi: I. Seder
Book SynopsisAndreas Lehnardt legt die erste deutsche Übersetzung des Traktates Sheviʿit (Siebentjahr) samt eines kurzen Kommentares vor. Massekhet Sheviʿit ist der fünfte Traktat der ersten Ordnung, Zeraʿim (Saaten). Er behandelt die biblischen Gesetze des Siebentjahres gemäß Exodus 23,10-11, Levitikus 25,1-7 und Deuteronomium 15,1-3. Der Traktat ist ein Kommentar zum gleichnamigen Mischna-Traktat und folgt seinem Aufbau. Die Übersetzung basiert auf der Krotoszyn-Ausgabe von 1865/66, es wurden jedoch alle verfügbaren Textzeugen wie sie in der Synopse zum Talmud Yerushalmi herausgegeben wurden und zusätzliche Fragmente aus der Kairoer Genizah sowie ein neu entdecktes Einbandfragment berücksichtigt. Der deutsche Kommentar bedient sich sowohl traditioneller Auslegungswerke als auch moderner wissenschaftlicher Literatur und erörtert die wichtigsten Fragen der handschriftlichen Überlieferung sowie der Interpretation der Halakha. Der Band bietet eine Bibliographie sowie ein Verzeichnis biblischer Zitate, der Parallelen in der rabbinischen Literatur und Verzeichnisse von Personen und Ortsnamen.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Gods Word Omitted: Omissions in the Transmission
Book SynopsisThe book investigates omissions in the textual transmission of the Hebrew scriptures. Literary criticism (Literarkritik) commonly assumes that later editors only expanded the older text; omissions would not have taken place. This axiom is implied in analyses and introductions to the methodology. The book investigates the validity of the axiom. After a review of literature, books of methodology, and past research, texts from different parts of the Hebrew Bible are discussed with this aim in view. The investigated texts consist of examples which preserve documented evidence about editorial changes. Passages with variant editions are compared in order to understand omissions as an editorial technique. The comparison of variant witnesses includes, for example, passages where the Greek and Hebrew versions differ and cases where parallel passages differ (e.g., Chronicles in relation to Kings, the Temple Scroll in relation the Pentateuch). Example texts have been taken from the Pentateuch, Samuel, Kings, Ezra-Nehemiah, Esther, Jubilees, etc.The investigation shows that omissions took place in part of the transmission of the Hebrew scriptures. Although omissions were clearly less common than additions, the conclusion challenges the axiom of literary criticism. Rejecting the conventional implementation of the methodology, the book provides a new model for understanding the transmission of the Hebrew scriptures that integrates omissions as a possible editorial technique.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG The Land to the Elect and Justice for All:
Book SynopsisText in German. Mika S. Pajunen contributes both to the understanding of manuscript 4Q381 from the Dead Sea Scrolls and to broader issues related to the reconstruction of damaged scrolls and to the reading of psalms in late Second Temple Judaism. The author focuses especially on the collection of "apocryphal" psalms in 4Q381 and other similar psalm collections, but it is also of interest to the ongoing search for the functions of psalmody in this period. A material reconstruction of manuscript 4Q381 has been made to determine the original placement of all the substantial fragments within the scroll. The reconstruction shows there to be eight psalms in the preserved scroll. A thorough analysis of all of them is incorporated in this study, including a critical Hebrew text and the first English translation of the psalms, a basic outline of the psalms' content with comments on their details, and a presentation of their overall message. All the psalms in 4Q381 discuss specific periods of time. The first three psalms cover a period from the Creation to the expected future of a group identified as God's chosen ones. These are followed by five pseudepigraphic psalms that are named in this study as Praise of the Man of God (David), Praise of Hezekiah, Penitential Prayer of Manasseh, Lament of Josiah, and Penitential Prayer of Jehoiachin. The psalms in 4Q381 make up a consistent whole that is shown to function as a unified lesson on the justice of God toward his elect. In this investigation 4Q381 is placed into its proper place inside some of the larger developments and ideologies perceivable within late Second Temple Judaism. For instance, 4Q381 is part of the general trends discernible in psalmody of this period, namely, a general increase in reflection upon the past and the use of wisdom motifs. But in addition, 4Q381 also gives evidence of a perception of psalms as sources of history that is in the end found to be a much broader phenomenon.
