The Old Testament is based on the Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible, it contains no Canaanite and Aramaic texts beyond isolated elements left in the original by the translators. If this was supposed to refer to the apocrypha, then please say so, that's a specific and distinct category. Cheers, Arminden (talk) 20:22, 30 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Arminden's comment is true only within a context like the Greek Orthodox religion, which does in fact base its OT on a Greek translation, the Septuagint. But for Protestants and Jews, the Old Testament is based entirely on Hebrew or Aramaic documents, not on Greek. In any case, "Canaanite and Aramaic inscriptions not contained in the Hebrew Bible and Old Testament" is a strange statement in the first place -- normally one wouldn't expect to find inscriptions, especially foreign-language inscriptions, in a literary work like the Bible. So "not contained in the Hebrew Bible and Old Testament" should be deleted. What the writer probably wanted to say is that Canaanite and Aramaic documents are useful for illustrating aspects of the Hebrew Bible / Old Testament. That is what KAI, which IS a standard work, is used for. 120.51.194.210 (talk) 07:31, 14 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The name of the book appears on cover page in fully Capital letters (KANAANÄISCHE UND ARAMÄISCHE INSCHRIFTEN), but in the first page of the Vorwort (p. IX in the first eedition, p. XI in the 5th edition in "Vorwort zur 1. Auflage") in Band (volume) I, the book is mentioned correctly as "Kanaanäische und aramäische Inschriften" (with lower case in the word "aramäische"). Should we change the title of the article accordingly? פעמי-עליון (pʿmy-ʿlywn) - talk13:13, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
When were the second and a third edition published?
The text says that the first edition was published in three volumes in 1960 to 1964, and then in 1966 and 1969, a fourth edition was published. What about the second and third editions? There is hardly any intermediate time for them to have been published. Why were new editions made almost every year until the fourth one? 62.73.72.3 (talk) 02:55, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
