Sample text

40 CHAPTER TWO that P-Ps has this particle in a great many cases where there is no equivalent in MT. 35 In the Hebrew Psalter, this function is not usually performed by any particle. In the psalms being studied in this work, the verb form rmoale, widely used in other books, is only used twice to introduce direct speech (105:11; 119:82), while the particle yk is used for the same function only in 118:2-436 and in MS 11QPsa in 132:11. P-Ps, on the other hand, clearly marks the beginning of direct speech with the particle d in all cases.

This study is presented as an instrument that allows all who approach the text of Psalms, in the stage of textual criticism, to know and understand the translation choices of the Syriac version, a witness to a Hebrew text, in the 61 psalms studied. For those who are interested in the Syriac language in general and in that of P in particular, this study offers the benefit of a larger and better knowledge of the translation techniques and the syntax, morphology and semantics of Syriac. Finally, for those who study the Syriac version and its vicissitudes over the course of time, this investigation will make it possible to delve more deeply into the problem of the theology of the translation as well as the identity of its translators, and it will, at the same time, contribute to clarifying the relationships between MSS.
