Professor Knibb is to be commended for his careful and insightful work. He brings readers who are new to the subject up to date on the state of scholarship on the Ethiopic scriptures, but also moves that scholarship another step forward. Steven M. Bryan, Bulletin of the School of Oriental and African Studies For anyone with an interest in the textual history of the Bible, this is a most illuminating volume. Journal of Semitic Studies ... it is to Knibb's great credit that he manages to present a huge amount of frankly repetitious material in a readable way. This is largely because he never allows the reader to lose sight of the relevance of the comparisons of Ethiopic and Greek (and often Hebrew). Throughout, Knibb gives considerable attention to the mechanics of translation, and this will no doubt make the book important for other scholars who are interested in techniques of translation. Paradoxically, Knibb has succeeded, by carefully working through a massive amount of Ethiopic material, in producing a book the significance of which will extend well beyond the realm of orientalists. Journal of Biblical Literature ... authoritative and judicious. Journal for the Study of the Old Testament
