Un testimonio inédito de Vetus Latina (1 Macabeos 1,1-6,40): el Codex Hubertianus (Londres, British Museum, Add 24142), Edición crítica

Abstract

The Old Latin studies have been enriched with new evidence, very useful for the reconstruction of the textual history of 1-2 Maccabees since the most important critical edition of these books (De Bruyne - Sodar 1932). Among the witnesses included in that edition, the first six chapters of 1 Maccabees in Hubertianus Codex (British Museum, Additional 24142) deserve special attention. Its text is close to other manuscripts that give evidence to a recension current in the 4th century. B. Fisher described this Latin Biblical text in 1965, yet despite its relevance to the textual history, it still remains unedited. With this edition the author shows the importance of this manuscript which fills a gap in the history of the Old Latin text of 1-2 Maccabees, specially for the understanding of L recension.
