    ARTICULI Reinhart Ceulemans, The
    Notes in the Syro-Hexapla Version of the Song of Songs . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
    In this article, a specific kind of notes are studied that are preserved in the mar- gins of the SyroHexapla version of the Song of Songs. These notes state that certain Hexaplaric readings are identical to the Septuagint text (bdmwt shbyn, which can be retroverted as o). One would expect this o text to refer to the Hexaplaric recension, but various factors seem to show that this cannot always be correct. This paper examines whether the problem can be solved by assuming that the notes do not refer to Syhtxt, but to a Greek Bible text originating in catena tradition. Although such a conclusion can be drawn for some readings, a consistent system cannot be identified.

    Rafa Zarzeczny, S.J., Some Remarks Concerning the Ethiopic Re- cension of the Life of Antony . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
    The Life of Antony (CPG 2102), one of the most important monastic text of the first Christian millennium, was translated into Geez perhaps already in the Aksumit period. L. Leloir conducted the first examination of the Ethio- pic redaction in the 1980s. However, his precocious passing away stopped the work, so the text remains unedited. The present study aims to investigate the status quaestionis of the research, with a description of the manuscripts, an examination of the text structure and analysis of several expressions, particu- larly confronting the Greek documents. Only twelve manuscripts containing the Ethiopic redaction are presently identified, divided in two basic families. The structure of the text generally agrees with the Greek one. The document is anonymous, and no classical attribution to Athanasius of Alexandria could be found. Some particular omissions (especially the lack of chapters 12 and 25-35) in all codices, and other structural variants prove their common ar- chetype source. Moreover, several proper names and specific terms (such as Antichrist) seem to confirm the Greek Vorlage, which was perhaps different from the textus receptus. However, other possibilities (an Arabic source?) still cannot be excluded, and the question can only be resolved with the edition of the text and future studies.

    Biographical sources for Isaac of Nineveh, or Isaac the Syrian, are not very clear about how much he wrote. They speak generally about various tomes or parts. Some of them specify five or seven, without, however, telling us exactly what these parts consisted in. In one case, however, we have an intere- sting indication: a certain Daniel Bar Tubanita is supposed to have written a rebuttal to the Fifth volume of Isaac the Syrian.

    The manuscript tradition has transmitted to us: a First Collection, known from antiquity and translated into almost all the languages of Christendom; a Se- cond Collection, which consists of four Centuries of knowledge and other home- lies, discovered in the 1980s by Sebastian Brock and partially published; and a Third Collection, likewise recently discovered and published.
