Text-critical Edition and Translation of 1 Enoch

该项目的主要目标是为第二圣殿时期400多年来最重要的犹太著作之一--伊诺克(或埃塞俄比亚语)--编写一个文本批评版和译文。查尔斯在1906年出版的上一次评论版，是基于对26份手稿的阅读，其中6份属于对建立文本具有重要意义的早期修订本。目前的项目在几个方面远远超出了查尔斯的版本：(1)它将至少利用100份盖兹手稿，其中至少25份属于先前的修订本。(2)它考虑了切斯特-比蒂收藏中发表的一份大型希腊纸莎草纸的读数。(3)它还通过与《死海古卷》中13个亚拉姆语手稿的片段进行持续比较来谈判关键文本。虽然(2)和(3)分别自1941年和1976年以来至少部分地为学者所知，但额外的盖兹材料(1)标志着该书的文本研究取得了真正的进展，其中许多材料是在最近几年才被确定或恢复的。1 Enoch版的早期资金将专门用于(A)现有盖兹手稿的计算机录入，(B)对其文本临界价值的初步概要研究和分析，(C)恢复进一步选定的和具有战略意义的盖兹手稿，以及(D)确定和记录15至17世纪在埃塞俄比亚文献中发现的1 Enoch的正式引文。第二年将包括确定关键文本草案，同时纳入上文(C)和(D)项所述工作的结果。本文将以提纲的形式介绍较早的校订和较晚更规范的校订，从而明确它们之间的区别及其对翻译的重要性。在第二年结束时，应与一小群专家一起召开一次研讨会，重点讨论伊诺克一书中最难的部分之一--《天文书》(第72-82章)。研讨会应提供一个论坛，以检验所产生的关键文本的价值，特别是考虑到亚拉姆语死海材料有时非常不同的文本内容。除了这个研讨会，项目小组将在整个资助期间在专业会议上参加并提供讲座，以确保与圣经、犹太和埃塞俄比亚研究中的同事进行更广泛的学术互动。第三年将对关键文本进行微调，同时考虑到新出现的额外材料的任何即将产生的结果。在此期间，将准备出版文本，同时将完成《伊诺克前书》的英语和德语翻译。

The main objective of the project is to produce a text-critical edition and translation of 1 (or Ethiopic) Enoch, one of the most important Jewish writings composed over a period of 400 years during the Second Temple period. The last critical edition, published in 1906 by Charles, was based on readings taken from 26 manuscripts, 6 of which belonged to an earlier recension significant for establishing the text. The present project goes well beyond the edition of Charles in several ways: (1) It shall draw on at least 100 Geez manuscripts, of which at least 25 belong to the earlier recension. (2) It takes readings into account from one large Greek papyrus published from the Chester-Beatty collection. (3) It also negotiates the critical text by sustaining comparisons with fragments from 13 Aramaic manuscripts from the Dead Sea Scrolls. While (2) and (3) have been at least partially known to scholars since 1941 and 1976, respectively, the additional Geez materials (1), many of which have only been identified or recovered during the last several years, mark a real advance in the textual study of the book.The early phase of funding for the edition of 1 Enoch shall be devoted to (a) completion of computer entry of the available Geez manuscripts, (b) an initial synoptic study and analysis of their text-critical value, (c) the recovery of further selected and strategically significant Geez manuscripts, and (d) the identification and recording of formal citations of 1 Enoch found in Ethiopic literature from the 15th to the 17th centuries.The second year shall consist of establishing a draft of the critical text, while incorporating the results of work noted under (c) and (d) above. The text will present the earlier recension and the later, more standardizing recension in synopsis, so that differences between them and their importance for translation can be made clear. At the conclusion of the second year, a workshop shall be convened with a small group of specialists to focus on one of the most difficult parts of 1 Enoch, the Astronomical Book (chapters 72-82). The workshop shall provide a forum in which to test the value of the critical text produced, especially in light of the sometimes very different textual content of the Aramaic Dead Sea materials. In addition to this workshop, the project team will participate and offer lectures throughout the funding period at professional conferences to ensure wider scholarly interaction with colleagues in biblical, Jewish, and Ethiopian studies.The third year will involve a fine-tuning of the critical text, while taking into account any forthcoming results from emerging additional materials. During this time, the text will be prepared for publication, and alongside this both English and German translations of 1 Enoch shall be completed.
