The Idiolect Test and the Vorlage of Old Greek Job: A New Argument for an Old Debate.
Old Greek Job (OG Job) is by one sixth shorter than its MT counterpart, which most scholars attribute to the translator, not to a shorter Vorlage. Most arguments however, are circular, since they rely on an evaluation of the translation technique, which is difficult to determine with an unknown Vorl...

Job Masorah Textual criticism Old Testament Biblical Greek language Hebrew language keyword: idiolect test Job OG Job Old Greek Job text criticism Vorlage ab: Old Greek Job (OG Job) is by one sixth shorter than its MT counterpart, which most scholars attribute to the translator, not to a shorter Vorlage. Most arguments however, are circular, since they rely on an evaluation of the translation technique, which is difficult to determine with an unknown Vorlage of the translation. This paper presents a way of sidestepping this problem, by employing the Idiolect Test. In a study, Hebrew idiolect items were compiled and studied for their distribution within MT Job. Those items hint at a specific language use of one author, or of a small group of authors. The result shows that there is no MT Job idiolect coinciding with the non-translated passages of the OG version. This supports the majority opinion: the OG translator worked from a long Vorlage and was responsible for the omissions. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Vetus Testamentum is the property of Brill Academic Publishers and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
