Hanhart’s 1979 Greek edition, while marking a small number of places where Greek manuscript evidence supports alternative readings. It explains how NETS positions Ioudith within its overall project, given that the Hebrew parent text is lost. The preface then describes the translation profile—general interlinear character and semantic approach—showing how lexical equivalence, semantic differentiation, and word-by-word decisions shape vocabulary richness and affect Greek prose coherence.","18-Jdt-NETS-4 .qxd  \n11/10/2009  \n10:29  \nPM  \nPage  \n\n| 44 | 1 |\n| --- | --- |\n|  |  |\n\nIOUDITH  \nTO THE READER  \nEDITION OF THE GREEK TEXT  \nThe NETS translation of the book ofIoudith is based on the edition of R. Hanhart (Septuaginta: Vetus Testamentum Graecum Auctoritate Academiae Scientiarum Gottingensis editum VIII.4: Iudith [Göttingen: Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht, 1979]) . While I have followed Hanhart’s critical text for the most part, there are a few instances in which, to my mind, the Greek manuscript evidence commends an alternative reading as representing the earliest form of the Greek text. These departures from Hanhart are duly noted as they arise. In three places (3.8; 4.9; and 6.6), I am convinced that a copying error must have crept into the text early in its history and that consequently the original reading has been obscured; in these passages, emendation was called for without the support of a Greek manuscript. In each case the reading I have followed does enjoy attestation by the Syriac text, which itself represents an early translation of the Greek.  \nPLACE OF IOUDITH WITHIN NETS  \nAlthough the book of Ioudith is demonstrably the translation of a Semitic work, most likely Hebrew, its parent text vanished sometime in late antiquity. Consequently, the present translation cannot serve the synoptic purpose of NETS with the NRSV. I have nevertheless endeavored to provide a translation which is faithful to the principles and aims of NETS.  \nTRANSLATION PROFILE OF THE GREEK General Character  \nOne of the aims of the NETS translator is to capture in English the constitutive character of the Septuagintal text. For much of the corpus, this means that the translator must squarely address the fact that the book he or she is rendering is itself a translation. In this respect, the book of Ioudith is no exception. From its language one can infer with some measure of confidence not only that the text represents the translation of a Hebrew parent, but that it represents a certain kind of translation, namely, one which has rendered its parent in a relatively metaphrastic fashion; this is to say that within the constraints of grammaticality, the Greek of the translation shows every indication of an isomorphic and quantitative fidelity to the language of its source. Implicit in the verbal texture of any translation is its relationship with another text in another language. In an interlinear translation, this relationship is characterized by a high degree of dependence: the Greek of Ioudith reads as it does in large measure because the Hebrew of its parent read as it did. The image NETS has adopted to capture this profile is that of interlinearity, the picture of one text following another, word-for-word, line-by-line. What this image conveys is the relative transparency of the Greek translation to the Semitic discourse it renders.  \nSemantics  \nAlthough upon reading Ioudith one is struck by the peculiar way in which familiar Greek words are used by the translator, it must nevertheless be stressed that idiosyncratic usage is the exception rather than the norm. Yet unconventional usage in Ioudith needs an explanation. In an interlinear translation the frame of reference within which a given word is deployed has been defined almost entirely by the task of translation itself, i.e., the need to provide lexical equivalents. A given word was chosen by the translator precisely because it was deemed an appropriate rendering of the corresponding word in the parent text. Its coherence with the larger verbal context of the target language was not a primary consideration, and so it is that we find Greek words which, at first blush, behave more or less like Semitic ones. This does not mean that they have somehow taken on Semitic meanings; on the contrary, it is upon Greek linguistic convention that the translator erects his interlinear edifice. Conventional Greek meanings had to be presumed if the Greek text was to discharge its constitutive f","cbCaissp3OYKrTfm","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaissp3OYKrTfm","pdf",546393,16,"English","en",105,"# TO THE READER\n## Edition of the Greek Text\n## Place of IOUDITH within NETS\n## Translation Profile of the Greek\n## General Character\n## Semantics","[{\"question\":\"What source edition of the Greek text underpins the NETS translation of Ioudith?\",\"answer\":\"The NETS translation is based primarily on R.
