The textual character of the Armenian version of Deuteronomy

About this book

This is the author's 1979 University of Toronto doctoral thesis (advisor: John W. Wevers). It presents a diplomatic edition of the Armenian text of Deuteronomy, a textual analysis vis-à-vis the Septuagint translation, analyses the possibility of translation from the Peshitta, and concludes that the Armenian translation was made on the basis of a Byzantine type of text influenced by Origen's Hexapla. There are no remnants of an earlier translation from Syriac, if such ever existed. Date of publication by Scholars Press is 1981.
