LXX Article in the Reif Festschrift

A festschrift for Stefan Reif is about to be published:

'From a Sacred Source': Genizah Studies in Honour of Professor Stefan C. Reif. Cambridge Genizah Studies Series, Volume 1. Edited by B.M. Outhwaite and S. Bhayro. Leiden: Brill, 2011.

I mention it here because one of the articles deals with a subject of continuing interest for this blog.

Judith Olszowy-Schlanger, "An Early Palimpsest Scroll of the Book of Kings from the Cairo Genizah."

For previous posts on the LXX materials from the Cairo Genizah, see here, and follow the links back. I assume the article by Olszowy-Schlanger deals with the Aquila fragments of Kings first published by F. C. Burkitt.

  1. No, in fact she deals with a Bodleian fragment (hiss!), MS Or. Heb. f. 27, ff. 10–22, which contains a palimpsest of 1 Kings 19:8–21. It's a good article. Well worth buying the volume for...

  2. Ben,
    Thanks for the clarification. I'll definitely try to get my hands on the volume, though I'll be looking for it in a library rather than buying it (for $216!).
