The Sub-Loco Notes in the Former Prophets of Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia

In BHS’s Masoretic apparatus, certain Masorah parva notes are marked “sub loco” in order to refer the reader to the corresponding commentary that was to be found in the third volume of Massorah Gedolah. Due to Weil’s passing, however, this commentary was never realized. This volume builds on Mynatt’s 1994 analysis and classification of the Pentateuch’s 297 sub loco notes by incorporating the Aleppo and Cairo Codices. Dost evaluates all 451 sub loco notes in the corpus of the Former Prophets, and evaluates Weil’s contribution by comparing Weil's revision of the Leningrad Codex’s Masorah against the Masorah of the Aleppo Codex.

In preparing the Masorah of Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia (BHS), Gérard E. Weil did not diplomatically present the Masorah of the Leningrad Codex (ML) as the editors of BHS did with ML’s text; rather, he opted to “complete,” “revise,” and “integrate” the text and Masorah of ML (BHS, xv). In BHS’s Masoretic apparatus, Weil marked certain Masorah parva notes “sub loco” in order to refer the reader to the corresponding commentary that was to be found in the third volume of Massorah Gedolah. Due to Weil’s passing, however, this commentary was never realized. A published analysis of BHS’s sub loco notes had to wait until Daniel S. Mynatt’s groundbreaking 1994 monograph, The Sub Loco Notes in the Torah of Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia, wherein he lists, analyzes, and classifies the Pentateuch’s 297 sub loco notes with a view to determining how and why BHS’s Mp differs from that of ML. Since that time, no analysis of the sub loco notes of the Prophets or the Writings has been published.

In this volume, Dost continues and methodologically advances Mynatt’s research by incorporating the Aleppo and Cairo Codices. After evaluating all 451 sub loco notes in the corpus of the Former Prophets, he evaluates Weil’s contribution by comparing Weil's revision of the Leningrad Codex’s Masorah against the Masorah of the Aleppo Codex.

The Coup of Jehoiada and the Fall of Athaliah

The Coup of Jehoiada and the Fall of Athaliah explores the discursive and historiographical techniques used to incorporate 2 Kings 11 into the larger deuteronomistic history. More specifically, this book explores how and why the report of Athaliah’s execution was not incorporated into the deuteronomistic history the same way as other Ahabite death reports found in 1 Kings 14 – 2 Kings 10.

The History of the ‘Slave of Christ’

The first critical editions and English translations of the two Syriac recensions of a fascinating text which narrates the story of a young Jewish child, Asher. After converting to Christianity and taking the name ʿAḇdā da-Mšiḥā (‘slave of Christ’), he is martyred by his father. In a detailed introduction, Butts and Gross challenge the use of this text by previous scholars as evidence for historical interactions between Jews and Christians, reevaluating its purpose and situating the story in its Late Antique Babylonian context.
