7 Torah ark in synagogue Scribes copied scrolls over centuries e.g. Masoretes (7 th -11 th centuries). Masorah = tradition. They created standard text of the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament
8 The Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensi a the Masoretic text
9 Is this all?..don t forget the Apocrypha Modern term for hidden books not brought out for general reading. Library concept. Ta biblia ( the books ).

13 What is included in the Old Testament? LXX (so Vaticanus) has Tobit, Judith, Wisdom of Solomon, 1 and 2 Maccabees and other books not found in Masoretic tradition. Latin Vulgate (by Jerome, 4 th cent.) and modern Catholic Bibles include these books. Some churches (Greek/Slavonic) also include 3 Macc., Ps. 151, and other ancient literature. Letter of Jude (NT) uses Assumption of Moses, 1 Enoch, cf. 2 Tim. 3: Protestants/Jews only Hebrew originals.
14 Hebrew originals Parts of Hebrew originals of apocryphal texts now found among Dead Sea Scrolls and in Cairo Genizah so what now?
15 Many other Biblical manuscripts among Dead Sea Scrolls, e.g. Isaiah Scroll 1QIs a or BC
16 Many manuscripts Not just one manuscript of Hebrew Bible/Old Testament Oldest Hebrew manuscripts of Hebrew Bible now are Dead Sea Scrolls. What to do when there are different versions? LXX versions, different editions in Hebrew, e.g. Jeremiah. 9 Psalms in DSS not in Hebrew Bible but 4 in LXX (Ps. 151 a and b, 154, 155).

18 Vienna Genesis, 6 th century illuminated manuscript of Greek Bible, probably made in Syria. Blessing of Ephraim and Manasseh, Gen. 48: 20
19 New Testament collection Letters written to churches: e.g. Paul/scribe Gospels preserve oral traditions of life and death of Jesus, and his sayings (Mark, Matthew, Luke, John but also Thomas, Peter, Mary etc) Different churches copy and collect together useful writings. Clement of Rome had Paul s first letter to the Corinthians, c. 95 CE.
