Petuhot and Setumot in Masoretic Manuscripts of Samuel

Research output: Chapter in Book / Report / Conference proceedingChapterAcademicpeer-review

Abstract

The following article is the result of an investigation into the use of
spaces in the Masoretic manuscripts of the book of Samuel, led by the
question: Is there a system in the use of spaces that can explain the
above-mentioned phenomena? And if so, is there reason to assume that
spaces could also indicate silence or missing text? The search for answers
has been based on the appearance of these textual markers in Codex
Leningradensis (L), Codex Aleppo (A), and Codex Cairensis (C), which
are analysed by Langlamet (1984). To arrive at a certain measure of dating
mss 4QSama, 4QSamb and 1QSama are used, which are excellently
described by Herbert.
