This volume of essays seeks to remedy this situation by focusing on the material aspects of the manuscripts themselves and the fluidity of textual transmission in a manuscript culture. With an emphasis on method and looking at texts as they have been used and transmitted in manuscripts, this book discusses how we may deal with textual evidence that can often be described as mere snapshots of fluid textual traditions that have been intentionally adapted to fit ever-shifting contexts. The emphasis of the book is on the contexts and interests of users and producers of texts as they appear in our surviving manuscripts, rather than on original authors and their intentions, and the essays provide both important correctives to former textual interpretations, as well as new insights into the societies and individuals that copied and read the texts in the manuscripts that have actually been preserved to us. 410 0$aTexte und Untersuchungen zur Geschichte der altchristlichen Literatur ;$vBand 175. 606 $aJews$xHistory 606 $aTransmission of texts 615 0$aJews$xHistory. 615 0$aTransmission of texts. 676 $a909.04924 702 $aLied$b Liv Ingeborg 702 $aLundhaug$b Hugo 712 12$aTextual Transmission and Manuscript Culture: Textual Fluidity, "New Philology," and the Nag Hammadi (and Related) Codices (Conference)$f(2012 :$eUniversitetet i Oslo) 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910341840603321 996 $aSnapshots of evolving traditions$91940999 997 $aUNINA
