Fostering Dialogue Among History, Language, and Belief.
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Textual Criticism of Biblical Manuscripts:
The core focus of 'Textus' is the rigorous analysis of biblical manuscripts, including the Septuagint and other ancient versions. This includes the examination of textual variants and their implications for understanding scripture. - Integration of Archaeological and Historical Context:
Papers often explore the interplay between textual criticism and archaeological findings, providing a holistic view of how historical contexts influence the interpretation of biblical texts. - Scribal Practices and Manuscript Transmission:
The journal frequently addresses the methodologies and practices of ancient scribes, shedding light on how texts were copied, modified, and transmitted through generations. - Statistical Analysis in Textual Studies:
Recent publications have introduced quantitative methods to textual criticism, offering new insights into the patterns and trends of textual variants. - Interdisciplinary Approaches:
'Textus' encourages interdisciplinary research, drawing from linguistics, history, and translation studies to enrich the understanding of textual traditions.
Trending and Emerging
- Fragment Identification and Analysis:
Recent publications highlight a growing interest in identifying and analyzing newly discovered fragments of biblical texts, particularly those from Qumran, indicating a renewed focus on manuscript discovery. - Quantitative Methods in Textual Studies:
There is an increasing trend towards incorporating statistical methods into textual criticism, allowing for a more rigorous analysis of textual variants and their distribution. - Scribal Practices and Textual Variants:
Emerging themes include detailed studies of scribal practices, particularly counterintuitive practices that challenge traditional views of text transmission. - Intertextuality and Influence of Ancient Texts:
Recent papers are exploring the intertextual relationships between biblical texts and other ancient writings, indicating a trend towards understanding the broader literary and cultural contexts. - Focus on Specific Textual Problems:
An increasing number of articles are dedicated to resolving specific textual issues within biblical passages, reflecting a trend towards detailed, case-by-case textual analysis.
Declining or Waning
- General Studies on the Septuagint:
While the journal has historically published numerous articles on the Septuagint, the focus has shifted towards more specific textual analyses and less on broader discussions of its significance. - Comparative Studies with Non-Biblical Texts:
There seems to be a decline in comparative studies that examine biblical texts alongside other ancient literature, as the emphasis has moved towards more focused biblical textual criticism. - Theoretical Frameworks in Textual Criticism:
Discussions around theoretical frameworks for textual criticism have decreased, possibly indicating a shift towards more empirical and data-driven research.
