Texts and Contexts of Jeremiah A. Lange

Based on the examples of Jeremiah 1 and 10, this volume contains
contributions of the textual reception and of the exegesis of both
chapters. Although textual history and reception history are to be
distinguished from each other, they are interconnected, as the textual
history of any biblical book is also part of its reception history.
Jeremiah 1 and 10 are ideal "test cases" because their textual
traditions (MT-Jer and LXX-Jer and its Hebrew Vorlage respectively)
differ most significantly in terms of rhetoric, structure and content.
The volume demonstrates how the Jeremiah's reception history helps to
better understand the textual history of both chapters.
