Abstract

269 the elimination of secondary recensional elements. First of all, the lack of Hexaplaric and Lucianic recensions in Tobit is detected. Recensions a and b coincide practically with the same recensions as in the books of Judith, Esdras I and Esther. The new recensions c and d have as a typical recensional element their secondary agreements with GII. HANHART has offered us a sound analysis of the whole process that led him to the critical edition of Tobit. The complicated text transmission has been thoroughly "durchdacht" and digested. He has pointed out how far we can go back with the evidence we have at hand, without yielding to any of the pre-established theories or schemes. And the relation among the different texts of Tobit has been greatly clarified. It is a pity that the Qumran fragments of Tobit (4 in Aramaic, 1 in Hebrew) still remain in- edited, but I suspect that their publication will not change substantially the analysis of the Greek tradition done by HANHART. Biblical scholars are in debt to Prof. HANHART for his arduous but necessary editorial achievements. I wish to congratulate him especially for this volume and for his wise caution in the
