This book offers a dramatically new translation of Liber Antiquitatum Biblicarum, a commentary that deals extensively with LAB's place in ancient biblical exegesis, and an introduction that treats the major problems associated with LAB (e.g. date, original language, manuscript tradition, exegetical techniques). Society of Biblical Literature - Bruce Fisk ...Jacobson devotes much of his creative energy to matters of reconstruction, retroversion, and conjectural emendation. The result is a critical commentary on a meticulously reconstructed text...that incorporates innumerable proposals about the evolution of the textual tradition. No future discussion of LAB s autographs or textual history can ignore this work.
