Zandstra compares three ancient versions - the Latin Vulgate, the Syriac Peshitta, and the Greek Septuagint - against the original Hebrew of the text. Historically this study was the first attempt of this kind with the book of Zephaniah. After giving a brief history of each of these primary versions, Zandstra proceeds to demonstrate their influence on the textual criticism of Zephaniah. Considering the interdependence of these versions upon one another, the author explores the departures of these versions from the Massoretic Text and variants derived from the consonantal text. Although the text of Zephaniah is brief, this historic study has remained a major tool for those who have studied this prophet since its publication. Zandstra, Sidney.
