| Summary: | This pilot study outlines the diverse and at times interwoven textual traditions of the story of Susanna in the Syriac Bible. There are three different versions of the story aside from the Syrohexapla and the revision of Jacob of Edessa, namely the Peshitta' version, another here dubbed Sinai Susanna', and finally the so-called Harklean' version. This paper seeks to describe the kinds of relationships that exist between these textual traditions as well as to suggest what type of critical edition might best display these connections. Additionally, the Sitz im Leben of the Harklean' version is briefly discussed, reflecting on whether the version's unique literary features betray a Jewish or a Christian background. |
