Description
Leiden: Brill, 2018. First edition. Hardcover. Near fine -. Octavo. x, 311, (1)pp. Indices and 38 page bibliography. Text in English with some Latin, Greek, Syriac and Hebrew. Blue cloth lettered in gilt. Top fore-corner of front cover slightly bumped. An ex-library copy but with minimal markings (i.e. rubber stamps on title page & bottom of text block) otherwise near fine. In Scribal Culture in Ben Sira Lindsey A. Askin examines scribal culture as a framework for analysing features of textual referencing throughout the Book of Ben Sira (c.198-175 BCE), revealing new insights into how Ben Sira wrote his book of wisdom. Although the title of “scribe” is regularly applied to Ben Sira, this designation presents certain interpretive challenges. Through comparative analysis, Askin contextualizes the sage’s compositional style across historical, literary, and socio-cultural spheres of operation. New light is shed on Ben Sira’s text and early Jewish textual reuse. Drawing upon physical and material evidence of reading and writing, Askin reveals the dexterity and complexity of Ben Sira’s sustained textual reuse. Ben Sira’s achievement thus demonstrates exemplary, “excellent” writing to a receptive audience. (Publisher) Contents: 1. Tools and techniques of scribal culture: materiality and physicality of reading and writing -- 2. Noah and Phinehas: originality and textual reuse -- 3. Hezekiah-Isaiah and Josiah: multiple source handling and harmonization -- 4. On weather: nature-lists and Ben Sira's use of Psalms and Job -- 5. Death and the body: echoes of Job, Qohelet, and ancient perspectives -- 6. The physician and piety: textual reuse and perspectives on medicine. (OCLC) Volume 184 of the Brill series, "Supplements to the Journal for the Study of Judaism." (Sjsj).
