Abstract :
In the edition of the Twelve Prophets published in Göttingen in 1943 by J. Ziegler, the siglum Tht. in the apparatus refers to the biblical lemmata as they appear in Theodoret of Cyrrhus’ Commentary on the Twelve Prophets, edited by J L. Schulze in 1770 and reprinted in the Patrologia Graeca (PG 81, 1545-1988). Schulze’s edition is itself based on, and modifies, the earlier edition by J. Sirmond (1642). A comparison between the manuscript tradition of the commentaries on Hosea and Joel and the editions of Sirmond and Schulze shows that these editors frequently printed the biblical lemmata in a form different from what was originally found in Theodoret’s commentary. In some cases, they relied on manuscript sources that were occasionally faulty; in others, they deliberately altered the biblical lemmata they had in front of them. Another source of error lies in Ziegler’s occasional misinterpretation of Schulze’s layout and notes. This article provides a list of corrections to Ziegler’s apparatus regarding variants attributed to Theodoret, identifying the source of each error. These corrections will allow for a more accurate assessment of Theodoret’s testimony to the Lucianic text of Hosea and Joel.
