Reviews

`This book provides interesting insights into the tactics applied by the early biblical translators...If this book is in fact predictive of the scope handled in Krasovec's stated project-particularly the compilation of a dictionary of biblical proper names-our field has much to look forward to.'-Review of Biblical Literature 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. -- Henryk Drawnel * The Biblical Annals *
