Chapter 6 conducts several asymmetrical studies of OT books in Vaticanus, comparing them with older manuscripts or with literary references that indicate the existence of physical divisions in the texts of earlier models, searching in particular for signs of a legitimate prehistory of the CapVat. From these studies it is concluded that the CapVat numbers predate Vaticanus and existed, for some books at least, by the middle of the third century in instruments created by Origen and known later to Eusebius; that the numbered divisions in Vaticanus correspond closely to the unnumbered divisions in some unmistakably older manuscripts, particularly of Deuteronomy; and that these divisions were originally based on what were perceived as the natural movements of the text, keyed primarily to changes of time or place or subject, or to other logically separable elements, such as lists or other imbedded materials","PeriodicalId":264842,"journal":{"name":"The First Chapters","volume":"82 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133918659","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It first summarizes the book’s findings about the genesis of the Bible’s First Chapters, seen both as an integrated set of numbered chapters, and as an underlying set of unnumbered text-articulations in earlier manuscripts. It also reviews what the book may contribute to the quest for the provenance of Codex Vaticanus and the manuscripts its scribes used for it. It reflects on the age of the textual divisions memorialized in the Bible’s First Chapters. Chapter 8 also continues a conversation about whether the sense divisions in biblical manuscripts have any useful contribution to make to the task of dating manuscripts. Finally, the chapter offers two examples from the NT of how an awareness of the divisions in Codex Vaticanus might be helpful in Scriptural exegesis.","PeriodicalId":264842,"journal":{"name":"The First Chapters","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129880073","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In a little-known list of chapters found in ten medieval manuscripts, confirmation is found for the existence of the First Chapters, at least for Acts, in Caesarea by at least about the end of the third century, associated with the work of Pamphilus. While the only replication of a NT book with the CapVat divisions remains the eighth-century Codex Zacynthius, legitimate precursors of the CapVat divisions may now be identified in the unnumbered ekthetic breaks in P75 (John especially), and, as far as they go, in the divisions of P64+67 in Matthew. Most likely, other early Gospel papyri preserve more variant forms. For Paul, an unexpected correlation with the CapVat divisions turns up in some of Tertullian’s exegetical comments on 1 Corinthians 7 in his ad Uxorem (c.207), where he is relying upon a Greek copy.","PeriodicalId":264842,"journal":{"name":"The First Chapters","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115421126","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It concludes, against often prevailing views, that (a), the same features that occur in early Christian manuscripts are slowly making their way into copies of Greek and Latin literary works at the same time, and (b), Christian practices of textual division owe much less to Greek ‘non-literary’ prototypes and much more to Jewish literary ones, and particularly to Jewish copies of Scriptural books, both in Hebrew and in Greek.","PeriodicalId":264842,"journal":{"name":"The First Chapters","volume":"109 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125205142","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
