A critical edition of the Ethiopic Jeremiah-cycle

埃塞俄比亚语的《耶利米书》是埃塞俄比亚语旧约中最大的先知书，从未见过批判版。大约100年前，约瑟夫Schäfers准备了一个批判版，但他在1916年秋天去世了，他的手稿在第一次世界大战期间丢失了。因此，一个批判版的《耶利米书》仍然是埃塞俄比亚研究和七十士译本研究的理想之选。《耶利米书》的批判版将以整理所有可用的文本见证为基础。这个版本将包括特雷尼书和通常一起传播的伪经补充（这些书也被称为耶利米循环）。该版本将对最早可获得的埃塞俄比亚版《耶利米书》（古版）的文本特征及其版本（即《七十士译本》）的性质提供新的见解。该版本还将记录从古版本到现代印刷版本的文本历史，并将为研究翻译方法提供有价值的材料。关于埃塞俄比亚的耶利米循环，约瑟夫Schäfers知道欧洲图书馆的15份手稿。除此之外，来自埃塞俄比亚教堂和图书馆的18份手稿也通过乔治·福克斯大学的EMIP项目提供。EMML也有八份手稿。在所有这些手稿中，数字副本要么可用，要么将分别处理。乔治福克斯大学于2013年完成了《耶利米书》（阿斯马拉圣经）的抄本。海德先生可以使用它，它将作为所有排序的基础文本。整理30份最古老的手稿所需的时间约为3.5年。在整理时，必须考虑到不同的层次（特别是阿拉伯语和学术版本）。在整理完最古老的手稿后，使用teststellen方法（一种由德国慕尼黑大学<s:1> Neutestamentliche Textforschung研究所开发的方法）可以帮助决定是否应该将后期的手稿（19至20世纪的15份手稿）包括在完整的整理中。这意味着，对于较新的手稿，只有那些诗句才会被整理，因为这些诗句可能会有重大的变化。这个过程不会超过一年。之后，将对各种排序的结果进行注释。它们将与Schäfers的观察结果进行比较，并将与关键文本一起发表。这将需要大约六个月的时间。根据其各种修订，文本的整理和关键文本的细分将在专业文本编辑器的帮助下进行，最好是CTE（古典文本编辑器）。这也确保了unicode文本（如果适用的话）可以在互联网上提供。

The Ethiopic Book of Jeremiah, the largest prophetic book of the Ethiopic Old Testament, has never seen a critical edition. About 100 years ago, Josef Schäfers had prepared a critical edition, but he died in the fall of 1916, and his manuscript was lost during World War I. Therefore, a critical edition of ethJeremiah remains a desideratum both for Ethiopic studies and for Septuagint research.The critical edition of ethJeremiah will be based on the collation of all available textual witnesses. This edition will include the book of Threni and the apocryphal additions that are usually transmitted together (these books are also referred to as the Jeremiah-cycle). The edition will give new insights into the textual character of the earliest attainable Ethiopic version of Jeremiah (versio antiqua) and into the nature of its Vorlage (i.e., the Septuagint). The edition will also document the textual history from the versio antiqua up to the printed editions of the modern era, and it will provide valuable material for investigating the method(s) of translation. Of the Ethiopic Jeremiah cycle, Josef Schäfers knew about 15 manuscripts from European libraries. In addition to these, 18 manuscripts from Ethiopian churches and libraries became available through the EMIP program of the George Fox University. The EMML has also eight manuscripts. Of all of these manuscripts, digital copies are either available or will be processed respectively.At George Fox University, a transcription of ethJeremiah (Asmara Bible) has been made in 2013. It is available to Mr. Heide and it will serve as a base text for all collations.The time required for the collation of the 30 oldest manuscripts is approximately 3.5 years. During collation, the different layers (esp. the Arabic andacademic recensions) must be reckoned with.After collating the oldest manuscripts, the application of the Teststellen-method (a method developed by the Institut für Neutestamentliche Textforschung, University of Münster) can help to decide if manuscripts from later times (15 manuscripts from the 19th - 20th centuries) should be included in the full collation. This means that, for the more recent manuscripts, only those verses would be collated where significant variants are to be expected. This should not take longer than one year.After that, the results from the various collations will be commented. They will be compared with the observations of Schäfers and will be published together with the critical text. This will require about six months.The collation of the text and the subdivisions of the critical text, according to its various recensions, will be carried out with the help of a professional text editor, preferably CTE (Classical Text Editor). This also ensures that the unicode text, if applicable, can be made available in the internet.
