Textual Criticism: Recovering the Text of the Hebrew Bible
Professor McCarter here offers an
introduction to the art and science of
textual criticism for students of the Hebrew
Bible. His emphasis is on the work involved
in the critical evaluation of a given
portion of text. His explanations of
critical principles are illustrated with
carefully selected examples of the textual
phenomena discussed—in Hebrew, with English
translations. The book concludes with
unique appendices on several kinds of
essential but hard-to-find information.
