The Transformation of Biblical Proper Names

Zusatztext The study of biblical proper names undertaken by Krasovec stems from his work on the new Slovenian translation of the Bible published in 1996. His philological work does not stop with the Slovenian language though! but is extended to cover the treatment of the proper names by all major European translations of the Bible from ancient times to the present. Informationen zum Autor Jože Krasovec is Professor of Old Testament in the Institute of Biblical Studies! Faculty of Theology! at the University of Ljubljana and a full member of the European and of the Slovenian Academies of the Sciences and Arts Zusammenfassung The basic phonetic relationship between Semitic languages and non-Semitic languages, like Greek and Latin is so complex that it was hardly possible to establish a unified tradition in writing biblical proper names within the Greek and Latin cultures. This book explores the various transformations of biblical proper names. Inhaltsverzeichnis Abbreviations of Bible Translations Introduction I.
