Özet
The
Bible was the most important canonical book of the Karaites, but only
short fragments or individual books have been published. The present
two-volume publication is a critical edition of approximately a half of
Crimean Karaim Bible. Volume I contains the transcription of sixteen
biblical books, the Pentateuch, i.e., Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus,
Numbers, and Deuteronomy; the Five Scrolls, i.e., the Song of Songs,
Ruth, Lamentations, and Ecclesiastes; as well as six books of the
Writings, i.e., the Psalms, Proverbs, Job, Daniel, Ezra, and Nehemiah.
Volume II contains the English translation of all biblical books
provided in volume I. The transcription is based on the most complete
manuscript from Cambridge and a few other manuscripts, including the
earliest ones. Therefore, this is the first publication that makes large
portions of the Bible accessible to the reader. Although the oldest
known datable manuscripts go back to the seventeenth century, the
language of Karaim translation is more archaic. This edition is an
important source for the study of Middle Karaim and Middle Turkic
languages. The edited text is provided with numerous comments and the
introduction traces the history of research. All this is important for
the study on the Crimean Karaim Bible since Ebenezer Henderson’s seminal
study of 1828.
