The Lucianic Text of 1 Samuel : A Revised and Augmented Edition of the Old Greek

In the historical books, the Lucianic or Antiochene text is easily definable, as far as the manuscripts are concerned: the five manuscripts 19-82-93-108-127 (= L) form a family that is clearly distinguishable from all other textual lines. The connection of this textual form to Antioch is confirmed by quotations in the writings of Antiochene Fathers. In this paper, I wish to describe the textual character of the Lucianic text in 1 Samuel, the kinds of recensional readings found in it, its dependence on Hexaplaric sources, as well as its relation to the Old Greek.Peer reviewe
