"The same omission due to haplography"

"The agreement between Alexandrinus and corrector Scb2 in these two comparisons is remarkable, given that Scb2 is one of only four attestations to its reading. This specific agreement indicates a possible genetic connection. Therefore it would be helpful to examine the agreement between Scb2 and other manuscripts."

The two best examples

Isaiah 37:4
1609475559505.png



same omission due to haplography in
37:4, εΐσακούσαι κύριος ό θεός σου τούς λόγους 'Ραψάκου, οϋς άπέστειλε βασιλεύς Ασσυριών όνειδίζειν θεόν ζώντα και όνειδίζειν λόγους, ούς ήκουσε κύριος ό θεός σου· καί δεηθήση πρός κύριον τόν θεόν σου περί των καταλελειμμένων τούτων,

Isaiah 37:4 (AV)

It may be the LORD thy God will hear the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master hath sent to reproach the living God, and will reprove the words which the LORD thy God hath heard: wherefore lift up thy prayer for the remnant that is left.

Isiaah 47:9

Again in 47:9,
νΰν δέ ήξει έςαίφνης έπΐ σέ τά δύο ταϋτα έν μια ήμερα· χηρεία καί άτεκνία ήςει έξαίφνης έπΐ σέ έν τη φαρμακεία σου έν τη ϊσχύι των έπαοιδών σου σφόδρα

This is probably using the Zeigler apparatus, note that in one Zeigler Pub
p. 46
you have similar notation

In these readings, Ziegler has consistently made the right decision.

νυν δε ηξει εξαιφνης επι σε τα δυο ταυτα εν μια ημερα χηρεια και ατεκνια ηξει εξαιφνης επι σε εν τη φαρμακεια σου εν τη ισχυι των επαοιδων σου.

Isaiah 47:9 (AV)
But these two things shall come to thee in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood: they shall come upon thee in their perfection for the multitude of thy sorceries, and for the great abundance of thine enchantments.

Is there more on p. 481?

If the Sinaiticus corrector places in the same oddball long omission
as Alexandrinus, the likelihood that he physically had Alexandrinus
in front of him is effectively 0.

However, if there is a printed edition of Alexandrinus in front of him
(Grabe, Breitlinger, Zosima) that has the same omission (because it
is an Alexandrinus based text) that would explain how these
omissions were picked up by the Sinaiticus corrector.

the number of printed editions at AD 700 = 0

So now that I read it more carefully, it is pretty exciting!

=========================

I had made a note about something in Isaiah in 2020 that has
superb potential, Kirk is going to try to work it out this week
a corrector Cb2 matches Alexandrinus in long additions and
omissions
There is very little other manuscript agreement
however Alexandrinus was not taking a world tour, the chances that
the ms. was in hand is effectively zero
however, the chances that an Alexandrinus-based printed edition
were in hand in 1840 (Grabe, Breitlinger, Zosima) is simply true

We should know more, this is a goody, we are talking LONG
additions, omission
ironically this was published by Ken Penner

Similar to the Zurich Psalter
Corroborative to the Zurich Psalter

However, with the Alexandrinus connection and the LONG variants, potentially much stronger, clearer!
