"In 4QSamuel-a and the Text of Samuel, Jason Driesbach offers a thorough analysis of secondary readings in 4QSamuel-a (4Q51) along with those in other major witnesses to Samuel (MT, G-B , G-L ) , leading to a nuanced characterization of the scribal features and textual affiliation of 4QSamuel-a , with implications for understanding its place in text-critical studies and literary analyses of the books of Samuel." 4QSamuel-a. Has been regarded by some scholars as an untrustworthy witness to the text of Samuel and by other scholars as a crucial witness, sometimes containing lost readings. Further, some regard this scroll as a non-biblical work based on Samuel. Driesbach’s analysis offers an evaluation of these views based on a sound and thorough consideration of the scroll." ; Vetus Testamentum, Supplements; Vol. 171; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 366 pages .
