The Greek Vorlage Of The Ethiopic Text Of Ezekiel

This chapter confirms and slightly corrects the judgement made by Ziegler that the Ethiopic text of Ezekiel belongs with the A-group of manuscripts in Greek traditions throughout the book. It provides further information on the relationship between the Ethiopic version of Ezekiel and the minuscules; in particular, showing the frequent agreement of the Ethiopic version with the pair 106-410. To come finally to Ezekiel-the particular object of the present study-Cornill argued that there was an textremely close relationshipt between the Ethiopic version of this book and A, but was criticised by Ziegler for overemphasising the closeness of the relationship. The results of this study confirm, and offer a slight corrective to, Ziegler's overall judgement of the Ethiopic text of Ezekiel. Keywords: Ethiopic text; Ezekiel; Greek Vorlage; Ziegler
