Editorial Reviews

Review

“It is a thrill to see a senior Australian biblical scholar (Perth based) making such a valuable contribution to this important and prestigious commentary series and the editors of the series (Stanley E. Porter, Richard S. Hess and John Jarick) are also to be commended for the monumental task they have taken on.”

‘This volume presents a commentary on the Greek text of Ezekiel as preserved in Codex Vaticanus. In addition to the commentary, Olley provides the reader with a detailed introduction, a Greek transcription, and English translation of the Ezekiel text of Codex Vaticanus. Olley’s commentary includes some comparison with MT and Papyrus 967, esp. in Ezekiel 36-39’.

From the Back Cover

This work is the first major commentary to focus on the text of LXX Ezekiel in any modern language. Rather than seeing LXX mainly as a text-critical resource with variants to be explained, this commentary, as part of the Septuagint Commentary Series, examines a specific manuscript in its own right as a document used by Greek readers unfamiliar with Hebrew. Included are transcription and English translation of Codex Vaticanus, the oldest extant manuscript of the whole book, and a detailed commentary that also compares the earlier P967 and the Masoretic Text where they differ. Another major new contribution is the utilisation of the sense-delimitation (paragraphs) of Codex Vaticanus itself, exploring how this influences reading of the text.
