Beskrivning
The Peshitta is the Syriac translation of the Old Testament made on the basis of the Hebrew text during the second century CE. Much like the Greek translations of the Old Testament, this document is an important source for our knowledge of the text of the Old Testament. Its language is also of great interest to linguists. Moreover, as Bible of the Syriac Churches it is used in sermons, commentaries, poetry, prayers, and hymns. Many terms specific to the spirituality of the Syriac Churches have their origins in this ancient and reliable version of the Old Testament.The present edition, published by the Peshitta Institute in Leiden on behalf of the International Organization for the Study of the Old Testament, is the first scholarly one of this text. It presents the evidence of all known ancient manuscripts and gives full introductions to the individual books. This volume contains Ezra, Nehemiah, and 1–2 Maccabees.

"The general editors and book specific editors are to be applauded for seeing the work begun by earlier generations of scholars through to fruition. The goal of a scientific edition of the complete Peshitta Old Testament, a vital tool for research into the text and interpretation of the Hebrew Bible and apocryphal literature, is within reach. Researchers of Ezra and Nehemiah and of 1 and 2 Maccabees must use this edition as the basis of their work." - Jerome A. Lund, Accordance Bible Software, Kviteseid, Norway
