Classical philology in his time wasn't just quiet library work—scholars fought over every word, since one misread line could twist a whole ancient author. #latinliterature #textualcriticism #romanempire

Calling all #Vulgate, #textualcriticism, #patristics, #biblicalscholarship, #manuscript peeps: late last night I started musing on colometry in Vulgate MSS, as one does on a Saturday night, and I buried it deep in a thread. Any recs on literature on this, new or old?
Hypothesis: per cola et commata is a style of layout, but it is not a transmitted apparatus to the text—unlike, say, Eusebian section numbers. Scribes can make their own decisions about which phrases and clauses get a new line and an outdent. Or at least that's my impression.

Book Review: Misquoting Jesus by Dr Bart Ehrman reveals how the New Testament was altered over centuries by scribes—sometimes accidentally, sometimes deliberately. Challenging the idea of Biblical inerrancy by showing the human hands behind the texts. #TextualCriticism #BartEhrman #MisquotingJesus

The Vulgate and the Masoretic Text agree, but the Samaritan Pentateuch, the Septuagint, and the Peshitta all disagree on the totals. Pesh nearly agrees, only rounding up Lamech's age at procreation to a round 200 (why?). But SamP and LXX are more interesting.

I read a chapter about #HebrewBible #TextualCriticism in the 19th C, and now I better understand the background between the separation of textual criticism starting where literary criticism ends, which I see in the work e.g. of Tov, but I still think the division is artificial and misleading.

#Deuteronomy 12 famously refers to a place YHWH will choose for his cult, which scholars often take as referring to Josiah's reforms (2 Kings 23). But in Deuteronomy the verbs are future tense (יבחר).
Or are they? SamP thinks otherwise.

#1Kings 4:3 names Solomon's scribes' father slightly more consistently:

Could this be the same name?

I know that the presence or absence of matres lectionis (vocalic waw or yod) isn't meaningful, semantically or textually.
Yet often a verse differs in SamP and MT in that SamP has a mater lectionis in one word where MT lacks it, and MT has one where SamP lacks it.

In #1Samuel 20:2, there's an interesting ketiv/qere:
K: לו־עשה
Q: לֹֽא־יַעֲשֶׂ֨ה
Hyphens & vowels were added later & word spacing is unreliable in ancient Hebrew manuscripts, so I wonder if there has been a w/y interchange here, and earlier it read ליעשה with negative L-.

We must use critical editions critically. I noticed that Von Gall's edition of #Exodus 27:9 reads באתה where MT reads בָֽאַמָּה֙, despite the fact that Kennicott's edition (which favors readings where SamP≠MT) does not note it. Is this a real variant, or just a typo?
