Problemi di traduzione: uno Pseudo-Crisostomo commenta Geremia

Pseudo-Chrysostom’s commentary on Jeremiah is here presented as an example of a Greek exegetical work facing up to the clear discrepancies between the Hebrew text of the biblical book and its Old Greek translation. A comparison with one of Photius’s Amphilochia (no. 152) strengthens the attribution of this commentary to Polychronius of Apamea, already suggested by L. Dieu. The comments to Ier 38 (MT31), 2 are particularly focused and offer an opportunity to investigate the hypothesis that the source therein mentioned as ὁ Ἑβραῖος might refer to a Greek rendering of an Aramaic (and potentially Targumic) version of the Hebrew text.
