Method in Unit Delimitation

"In this volume selected papers from several Pericope meetings have been combined into a thematic volume, dealing with the method of unit delimitation. The exciting find of a significantly deviating tradition of paragraphing in a hitherto unnoticed Tibero-Palestinian manuscript containing the complete Prophets and Writings is discussed. The text divisions in the Leviticus and Joshua Codices from the Schoyen collection and a fifth-century lectionary are other primary sources studied. The influence of unit delimitation on the reading and use of Greek manuscripts is described. The hierarchy and meaning of the Masoretic accents and other means of demarcating verses are investigated. The chapter division of Bishop Stephan Langton that became the standard in almost all bibles is retraced. A renowned expert evaluates the work of the Pericope group up till now." "The volume closes with a proposal for a new polyglot Bible, containing data with regard to unit delimitation from four traditions: Hebrew, Greek, Syriac and Latin."--BOOK JACKET.Korpel, Marjo C.
