Critique textuelle de l'Ancien Testament. Tome 5: Job, Proverbes, Qohelet et Cantique des Cantiques

This volume addresses the main problems that the traditional Hebrew text

of the wisdom books (Job, Proverbs, Qohelet, Song of Songs) poses for

translators, problems that have confronted translators of the most

influential English, French and German editions of the Bible over the

past half-century. It presents and develops the results of a ten-year

effort (1969?79) conducted by an international and interdenominational

committee of specialists in Old Testament textual criticism. This volume

is the last in a five-volume series. The first four covered the

historical and prophetic books as well as the Psalms.
