About the Book

Altogether 46 essays in honour of Professor Raija Sollamo contribute to explore various aspects of the rich textual material around the turn of the era. At that time Scripture was not yet fixed; various writings and collections of writings were considered authoritative but their form was more or less in transition. The appearance of the first biblical translations are part of this transitional process. The Septuagint in particular provides us evidence and concrete examples of those textual traditions and interpretations that were in use in various communities. Furthermore, several biblical concepts, themes and writings were reinterpreted and actualised in the Dead Sea Scrolls, illuminating the transitions that took place in one faction of Judaism. The topics of the contributions are divided into five parts: Translation and Interpretation; Textual History; Hebrew and Greek Linguistics; Dead Sea Scrolls; Present-Day.

Review :
'Insgesamt bietet die Festschrift einen interessanten Einblick in aktuelle Fragestellungen und sie vermittelt auch einen Eindruck von den internationalen Verbindungen wie auch vom lokalen Potential der finnischen Text- und insbesondere der Septuagintaforschung, bei der die Jubilarin eine bedeutende Rolle spielt. – Ad multos annos!'
