This title is no longer in mint condition due to: spotting on sides. Pages and text are otherwise completely legible.
Isaiah 19 is an unusual chapter that offers something for the textual critic, the translator, the historian and even the theologian. In this monograph, which provides a coherent literary reading of Isaiah 19, Professor Wong examines Isaiah 19 by discussing its redactional history or editorial emergence before reflecting on its effects. He begins by addressing issues of translation and interpretation, before reviewing the literary history of the chapter and summarizing his conclusions on the editorial echoes and effects present in the existing form of Isaiah 19. Finally, he presents his provisional views on Isaiah 19 in its wider literary context.
