                       A.The Textual Witnesses

                       I. The Greek Witnesses1)For fuller information on the Greek manuscripts, see Rahlfs, Verzeichnis.―

    The edition of Leviticus is based on the following mss, which have been recollated by the LXX-Unternehmen:

                        1. Uncial Manuscripts

A    London, Brit. Mus., Royal 1 D.V. V. Century. “Codex Alexandrinus”. Lacking are 6,19-23. In H.-P. = III.

B Rome, Bibl. Vat., Vat.gr.1209. IV. Century. In H.-P. = II.

F Milan, Bibl. Ambr., S.P.51 (earlier A.147 inf.). V. Century. Lacking is 9,19-10,14 αφαιρεμα[τος], and has been restored by Fb. Correctors in F come from two clearly differentiated periods. The codex was first corrected by various hands which can be distinguished by a yellowish brown tint as well as majuscle script, and are named Fa. When these corrections can be distinguished in time they are called Fa 1, Fa  2, etc. In the Middle Ages the codex was thoroughly retraced by a Restorer, who also made corrections. His and later correctors are called Fb; should it be possible to distinguish these correctors in time, they would be designated Fba 1, Fb 2, etc. Where Fb clearly made an error in his retracing, it is called Fs. Corrections by erasure are designated by Fc. Most of the marginal corrections are by Fb, in which cases the corespon­ding text in F might be marked by dots. These have not been recorded. Edition: A.M.Ceriani, Monumenta sacra et profana 3, Milan 1864. The edition contains only the text of the original ms without corrections (except for those made by the original hand). In H.-P. = VII.

                        II. The Old Versions

    In the ranking of the versions, the Old Latin stands first in the
Apparatus, in which the ms are listed first, followed by the Fathers; the remaining versions follow these in alphabetic order.
    For the problems connected with the Versions in geneal see Genesis 33-34.

                        1. The Old Latin Version = La®FN1  I would like to tender my special thanks to H.J.Frede and W. Thiele of the Vetus Latina Institut in Beuron for their friendly support, by which it became possible for me to investigate the wealth of materials in the Institute on site relevant to my work.  They offered me the use of their enormous collection of patristic evidence not only, but also enabled me to make a new collation of the mar­ginal notes on mss 91-96.―

    The following mss were collated:

  91: Lιon, S. Isidoro, Codex Gothicus Legionensis. Written 960.
  92: Lιon, S. Isidoro 1.3 (Legionensis 2). Written 1162. Copy of 91.
  94: Escorial, Biblioteca de S.Lorenzo 54. V.35. Written 1561.
  95: Madrid, Acad. de la Historia 2-3. XII. Century.
  96: Calahorra, Catedral 2. Written 1183.

   Mss 91-96 are Vulgate mss which contain marginal readings which are attributed to LXX, Al and T. Only 95 in the main fails to indicate their derivation. The attributions LXX and GR (= Graecus), for which no distinction could be discovered, have not been noted in the apparatus, whereas readings of Al (aliter or alia) and T (tertius) are noted.  The notes designated by Al (for aliter or alia) show a close relation to the readings of ms. 100.

    For the textual character of Vetus Latina comp. A.V.Billen, The Old Latin Texts of the Heptateuch, Camridge 1927. As in Numbers and Deuterono­mium citations of mss and the Fathers were made, rather than by text types as in Genesis. The character of the Vetus Latina texts of Leviticus are charac­teried as in Numbers and Deuteronomium as homogeneous. Also in the case of Leviticus the rendering of the Greek hexaplaric text (LaO in Genesis), and the translations from the Greek related to PsPhil, i.e. those not dependent on La are, however, cited within the series of Latin Fathers. The designa­tion La is used whenever all Old Latin witnesses agree.

                    5. The Coptic Versions = Co

                        a) The Bohairic Version = Bo

                        6. The Palestiniah-Syriac Version = Pal

    Pal was collated from The Bible in the Syropalestinian Version, ed. M.H. Goshen-Gottstein, Part I Pentateuch and Prophets. Jerusalem 1973. This edition is a collation of all previously known as well as of newly found texts of Pal for the Pentateuch and the Prophets. For Leviticus it contains only two fragments, which were first published by A.S.Lewis, Codex Climaci Rescriptus, Horae Semiticae VIII. Cambridge 1909. Contents: 8,18 Ααρων-30 fin and 11,42 επι ult-12,8 ολοκαυτωμα.

                        7. The Syro-hexaplaric Version = Syh

    The following texts were collated:

SyhT = Turb‘Abdin Ms. Edition: A Vφφbus, The Pentateuch in the Version of the Syro-Hexapla. A facsimile edition of a Midyat Ms. discovered 1964. Corp. Scr. Chr. Or. 369. Louvain 1975. The following pieces of text are absent because of leaf loss: 20,14 εν υμιν-21,9 εκπορνευσαι (A page has been ripped out. Fragments of 20,21-24 and 21,5-9 are preserved) and 26,46 των-fin libri.

        Besides these Barh and Ish were also compared.

    With the discovery of SyrT the text of this translation of Lev has been made available to scholars for the first time. As in the other books of the Pentateuch Syh is one of the chief witnesses to the hexaplaric recension. Syh constitutes, even though not entirely trustworthy, for the greater part of the book, where cod G is lacking, the only witness for the hexaplaric signs. Furthermore, the significance of Syh for the reconstruction of the ®MDIT―ο®MDNM―b' text of the hexapla in full can hardly be overstated, since ms 426 which is a chief witness for the hexaplaric text in other books is extant only from 16,8.


                        III. The Printed Editions

        The three large oldest Bibles: Aldina (Ald), Complutensis Compl) and the Sixtina (Sixt) are particularly important. They have been fully collated for this edition. The principles which govern their citation are given below. Only the Sixtina has been reprinted numerous times; in this edition only the original text has been used.

                            1. Aldina (Ald)

    In Leviticus Ald is especially closely related to the ms-pair 68b'. These in turn are related to 120; and where this is not available, to 29. All four mss were in the possession of Cardinal Bessarion, and their text has been influencial either directly or indirectly on the text of Ald. It has also been established that Ald has a number of variants which are witnessed by ®MDIT―oI®MDNM―. Ald is only noted in the Apparatus when it has unique readings or variants which permit further conclusions for the developement of its textual form.

                            2. Complutensis (Compl)

    The text of Compl is based in large part of mss 19b'®MDIT―®MDNM―. but it also supports variants which are found in the ®MDIT―f®MDNM―-group. The notation of Compl readings is treated in the same fashion as Ald. As for its unique readings it must be said that these do not come from a lost Greek parent text, but go back to the editor of Compl; note some otherwise unsupported instances of MT influence.

                            3. Sixtina (Sixt)

    Of all the old printed editions Sixt shows the closest dependence on a single ms. It presents almost exclusively the text of B; if B is corrected it mainly supports B®MDIT―c ®MDIT―®MDNM―. Since little is known of other mss which were used in the creation of B, whenever Sixt does not support B, B or B®MDIT―c ®MDIT―®MDNM―, it is noted in the Apparatus. Purely orthographic variants, which might be interessst in certain cases, as with spellings of names, are not considered for B.

                            4. Grabe (Gr)

See Genesis 53,

                            5. Holmes-Parsons (H.-P.)

See Genesis 54.

                            6. Lagarde

    The text of Lagarde is that of his reconstructed Lucianic text of the books Genesis to Esther. The edition is not used for the Apparatus.

                            6. Brooke-McLean (Br.-M.)

    See Genesis 54-55. The edition Exodus-Leviticus appeared in 1909. Also in the edition list of divergences from Br.-M. are given in a Supplement. The list does not, hwoever, contain any material which Br.-M. took over from  H.-P.

                            7. Rahlfs Ra)

    Ra refers to the manual edition of the Greek Old Testament; for Leviticus it is essentially based on a comparison of the uncials A and B.

    Hexaplaric signs are found chiefly only in G and in Syh; occasionally
they are found in mss which do not present the ®MDIT―O®MDNM―-text.

                        2. The ®MDIT―C®MDNM―-Group

®MDIT―®MDIT―C®MDNM― = 16-46-77-131-500-529-739
®MDIT―cI®MDNM― = 57-73-320-413-528-550-552-761
®MDIT―cII®MDNM― = 52-313-414-417-422-551-615

®MDIT―C®MDNM―b' = ®MDIT―C®MDNM― + ®MDIT―cI®MDNM―  ®MDIT―C’®MDNM― = ®MDIT―C®MDNM― + ®MDIT―cII®MDNM―  ®MDIT―®MDNM―®MDIT―C®MDNM―b'®MDNM―b‡ = ®MDIT―C®MDNM― + ®MDIT―cI®MDNM― + ®MDIT―cII®MDNM―  ®MDIT―cI’®MDNM― = ®MDIT―cI®MDNM― + ®MDIT―cII
®MDNM―16b' = 16 + 46  52b' = 52 + 615  57b' = 57 + 413  73 = 73 + 320

550b' = 550 + 552

    The ®MDIT―C®MDNM―b'®MDNM―b‡-Group presents a widely diffused text type,, which is preserved particularly in Catena-mss. Except for the mss 16-46-131 all the mss of this group are Catena mss. On the other hand, ther are six catena mss which are not members of the ®MDIT―C®MDNM― group, namely two from the codices mixti, 18 and 646, 128 which is a ®MDIT―z®MDNM― text, the ®MDIT―oI®MDNM― ms 708, and the ®MDIT―s®MDNM― ms 730. Ms 424 also represents the ®MDIT―C®MDNM―b'®MDNM―b‡ text
type, but is such a condensed text that it would be difficult to record it among
the ®MDIT―C®MDNM― group, and has been assigned to the codd mixti for convenience’ sake.

                        3. The ®MDIT―b®MDNM―-Group

®MDIT―b®MDNM― = 19-108-118-314-537
19b' = 19 + 108  118b' = 118 + 314

    The group often divides into 19b' and 118b'-537, but usually it constitutes a closed group.

                        4. The ®MDIT―d®MDNM―-Group

®MDIT―d®MDNM― = 44-106-107-125-610
44b' = 44 + 106  107b' = 107 + 610  125b' = 107 + 125

    On the character of the ®MDIT―d®MDNM―-group as the chief representative of the Byzantine text see THGN.

                        5. The ®MDIT―f®MDNM―-Group

®MDIT―f®MDNM―-Group = 53-56-129-246-664
53b' = 53 + 664  56b' = 56 + 246

    Ms 129 ofen deviates from the group.

                        6. The ®MDIT―n®MDNM―-Group

®MDIT―n®MDNM― = 54-75-127-458-767
54b' - 54 + 127  75b' = 75 + 458

    Ms 54 has a few hexaplaric readings in its text.

                        7. The ®MDIT―s®MDNM―-Group

®MDIT―s®MDNM― = 30-85-130-321-343-344-346-730
30b' = 30 + 730  85b' = 85 + 130  321b' = 321 + 346  343b' = 343 + 344

    The mss of the ®MDIT―s®MDNM―-group contain numerous hexaplaric readings on the margins.

                        8. The ®MDIT―t®MDNM―-Group

®MDIT―t®MDNM― = 74-76-84-134-370
74b' = 74 + 134  76b' = 76 + 370

    As in Genesis the ®MDIT―t®MDNM―-group is closely related to the ®MDIT―d®MDNM―-group.

                        9. The ®MDIT―x®MDNM―-Group

®MDIT―x®MDNM― = 71-509-527-619
71b' = 71 + 619

                          10. The ®MDIT―y®MDNM―-Group
 ®MDUL―®MDNM―®MDIT―y®MDNM― = 121-318-392

                        11. The ®MDIT―z®MDNM―-Group

®MDIT―z®MDNM― = 68-120-122-126-128-407-628-630
68b' = 68 + 122  120b' = 120 + 407  126b' = 126 + 128  628b' = 628 + 630

    68-120b' quite often diverges from the others, but usually the group
is closed as a group.


                    II. The younger Greek Versions

    On the character of the second Apparatus see Genesis 59-60. The readings
brought together in Apparatus II, which come in the main from the hexapla
especially as αb'σb' and θb' readings, are usually marginalia from the mss.
Only seldom are there direct references to the later versions in the text of the mss themselves, as for ex. in ms. 54. The situation is quite different in the Catenas, where the non-LXX readings are to be found either within the commentaries of the Fathers or as independent catena fragments. Accordingly the catena texts have been systematically excerpted of non-LXX materials germane to the second apparatus. Since ®MDIT―C®MDNM―b'®MDNM―b‡ is not the equivalent to “catena mss”, some clarification is necessary for the nomenclature within Apparatus II. The designaton ®MDIT―C®MDNM―b'®MDNM―b‡ can hardly involve the non-catena mss 16 46 and 131. In fact, the evidence for such readings extends beyond ®MDIT―C®MDNM―b'®MDNM―b‡ and includes the other catena mss (18 128 646 708 730) as well, which are separately listed as supporters; though it must be added that the readings
of 128 throughout and the majority for 708 do not actually stem from the catena tradition.
   The intent of c a t and c o m m has not changed; similarly also in Leviticus in so
far as the source of a c o m m-reading can be verified, the witness for the Father would be named.
    As to the witnesses for non-LXX readings the usual picture is attested in
Leviticus as well. The most readings are again to be found in the mss Mb' (M = 664; 416 = 577) as well as the ®MDIT―s®MDNM― mss: 344 (= 488), 130 (= 448), 321 (= 435), 85 (= 389), 346 (=380), 343 (= 43). Next come the Catena mss, of which the ®MDIT―C®MDNM―b'®MDNM―b‡ group present 100 readings. ms 18 = 94, 730 = 64. and the damaged ms 646 = 35 cases, while the rogue mss over against the other catenas, 128 and 708 witness to only 29 and 14 resp.
   For the ®MDIT―O®MDNM―b'b‡-mss once again in Leviticus it is only Syh which yields
substantial material with 51 cases,  whereas the other ®MDIT―O®MDNM―b'b‡ witnesses only show an occasional instance: 58 = 35, 707 = 16, 376 = 3, and 64 = 1. This situation is similar for all other witnesses, except for Fb (= 68). This appears from the following: a) mss.: 56  = 25, 108 = 24, 458 = 21, 54 = 14, F = 8, 118 = 7, 314 = 5, Fa and 127 each = 2; b) patristic witnesses: Hes = 57, Tht = 7, Procop = 6, Eus = 5, Barh = 4, Ish = 1 instance.
     It is worthy of notice that non-LXX readings in Leviticus remain anonymous to a large extent. Of the ca 1400 readings,about 66% (=916); 10% (139), of the cases present a summary source indication, such as οἰa‘ λb', οι ε‘'τεροι, or as αb'σb' or θb' or some other named source, while 6.7% each name αb' orσb' (96 and 94 resp.), 5% name οb', about 4.4% (61) for θb', and 1.2% (18) name το`σαμb',
    A basis for the large number of anonymous readings, which incidentally helps to explain the relatively large amount of non-LX material involved, might be sought in the fact that many readings are repeatedly attested; in such cases as a rule the first mention is often given with source, whereas the repeats may well lack the name of the source. For example, the reading ιωβηλ is given four times together with source (θb' in 25,29;σb' θb' b’εβρb' in 25,11 13 28), and ten times is anonymous (25,12 15 28 30 31 33 40 50 52 27,17). Beyond that, this example points to the fact that the majority of these anonymous readings belong to αb'σb' and θb'.
    As a further source to which a large number of anonymous readings can be assigned. the Samaritan Targum may be named; its Greek translation of the mss in a rather few cases show a direct relation to το`σαμ(αρειτικον). Since the fact that eleven of the thirteen cases which are found under the name το`σαμb' in the catena mss, are also found, either directly or indirectly in Cod.M, which are throughout
s nom, similar anoonymous readings of M which were not readings of the three, but did seem to represent MT, were compared to the Samaritan Targum of Petermann. This produced 74 instances, a number large enough to warrant their being noted in apparatus II. These were noted under the designation either
= SamA r a m or cf SamA r a m.
    It was interesting that the readings of SamA r a m almost exclusively agreed with those in M and the Catenas, but was not witnessed by mss of the ®MDIT―s®MDNM―-Group, for which only one instance, 14,3 η’^ρταε 85b', obtained. This discovery reflects once again the still unsolved problem in connection with the particular tradition-historical con­ditions which lay behind the non-LXX readings. An edition can in any event only add some clarification by bringing out these materials. This means that these non-LXX readings in Leviticus must be included. Only such materials should be omitted that seems certain to be exegetical gloss or lexical comment. Thus the readings which were uncertain®FN1 My special thanks are due to D. Fraenkel who in the course of his collating the hexaplaric materials for this edition b­e­came aware of the relation between the M marginal readings and SamA r a m (see also Field, pp.329ff.) and so compared all the non-LXX readings with SamA r a m, His results have been included in Apparatus II.―, were placed in the Apparatus.


                    ®SZ14PT― ®MDBO―C Re this Edition
®MDNM―®SZ12PT―
    The general layout of the Genesis edition was retained for Leviticus as well. The changes over against earlier volumes of the Gφttingen Septuaginta are in part repeated from the Genesis volume.

                        1. The Introduction

    The introduction is limited to those materials which are immediately necessary for the user of the volume. An extensive discussion, especially of the text history is to be found in THGL. Deviations from Br.-M are collectively listed in an Appendix, which in spite of their importance are not absolutely necessary for the use of this edition.
    As in Genesis the Orthographica- and Grammatica-discussion has been placed in a Supplement. It is limited, however, to fewer instances of this discussion that might help to understand some passages. For the construction of the edition the editor had to distinguish between real variants and variants which were only orthographic in nature; only the former were taken up in the first apparatus. Only for names are ®MDIT―all®MDNM― variants cited in the apparatus.

                        2. The Critical Text

    As in the Genesis edition, proper nouns are supplied with accents, and where appropriate with spiritus lenis or spiritus asper. The principles which were followed in the Genesis edition are also followed in this edition. The reader is referred to Genesis 62-63.

                        3. List of Sources

    Between the text and the apparatus all the ms witnesses and versions are named in the same order as that in the apparatuses. For this see the following paragraphs. A witness whose text is fragmentary appears in parentheses, e.g. (931). Should the text of a witness begin on a particular page a hyphen follows, e.g. (931-). Should such a reference end there, the hyphen would precede, e.g. (-931).    
    It is also noted in the list when a piece of text fails for some external reason. E.g., should ms 314 lack some text due to leaf loss the notation would read ®MDIT―b®MDNM―- 3 1 4. This would show that the entire ®MDIT―b®MDNM―-group except for ms 314 (which belongs to ®MDIT―b®MDNM―) contains the text of the page involved.
    The abbreviation al (for alia manuscripta) refers to mss which could not be assigned to any text group, i.e. the so-called codices mixti as well as those mss too broken or damaged to be classified. The expression verss refers to all versions which contain the complete text of Leviticus. Versions whose Leviticus text is not complete, such as Pal, are placed at the end of the source list.

                        4. Apparatus I

    The evidence for a variant is always given in a special order: a) the uncial mss in alphabetic order, b) the papyri in numerical order, c) the witnesses of  ®MDIT―O®MDNM―b'b‡ mss, d) the witnesses of ®MDIT―C®MDNM―b'®MDNM―b‡, e) the remaining text families (cf Section B I supra), in alphabetic order, f) the codices mixti, g) the rest of the Greek witnesses in the following order: N.T. witnesses, Phil, followed by the other Greek Patristics in alphabetic order, h) the Latin texts in numerical order, followed by the Latin Fathers in alphabetic order. The Latin witnesses are (except for unique readings of a Father) always introduced by a raised L a t, i) the remaning versions in alphabetic order, and j) other witnesses or commentaries.
    Over against the Genesis edition only the notation of the Latin witnesses has changed. The various text types, such as LaK, LaI, etc. could not be used, and the designation La in Leviticus is only used to indicate that all Latin witnesses agree (cf Section A II 1. supra). This change was necessary since up to the present no critical edition of the Vetus Latina for Leviticus has appeared, and so no secure basis of the classification of Latin witnesses according to text types is possible (cf Section A II 1 supra.). For the same reason it was necessary to record the witness of the Latin Fathers immediately after the Latin mss. For the changes in the notation which the Pentateuch editions have in common over against the other editions of the Gφttingen Septuaginta, see Genesis 64.

                        5. Apparatus II

    The theory that underlies the second apparatus was explained above under B II. Unless otherwise stated the recorded variants are throughout marginal readings. Readings of the younger translators which are found in the commentary texts of catena mss are designated by a raised c o m m, (for ex. 77c o m m). Should such a reading be attributed to a certain Father, his name would be added, (for ex 77c o m m T h t). Readings within the catenas which are not in a commentary, are noted by a raised c a t (for ex. 77c a t).
