In this Fragment of the Month, Christa Müller-Kessler discusses a Christian Palestinian Aramaic fragment of the book of Joshua on a palimpsest from the Cairo Genizah. The Christian Palestinian Aramaic is a very interesting version, but not well attested or widely known, so any fragment that has survived is important.
Do we know how much of the Bible has been preserved in CPA manuscripts? I'm to understand most CPA manuscripts are palimpsests, so I'm presuming not that much.
ReplyDeleteYes, I understand attestation to be pretty spotty. I would check the Textual History of the Bible volumes for up-to-date overviews/syntheses, but I don't have a list on hand.
