"Using the model of indirect translation from modern translation studies, this monograph argues that the Septuagint translation of Isaiah played little to no role in the translation of the Peshita of Isaiah. Since the mid-to-late nineteenth century, many scholars have argued that the translator of the Syriac Peshitta of Isaiah (200 CE) frequently consulted and/or translated the Greek Septuagint (140 BCE) at certain points during the process of translation (e.g., when encountering difficult lexis in their Hebrew source text). However, the study of this translational phenomenon has lacked methodological control. Applying indirect translation theory and methodology from modern translation studies to the Peshitta of Isaiah, this book argues that where the Peshitta of Isaiah and Septuagint of Isaiah agree (against their common Hebrew source in chapters 1-39), the "agreement" is almost always due to common translation technique, rather than direct influence from the older Greek text."; Studies in cultural Contexts of the Bible; Vol. 13; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 404 pages.…
