This volume presents a critical edition of the Coptic translation of the Corpus Ieremaie in the Coptic Sahidic dialect. It evaluates all the available texts (codices) and also considers secondary texts (lectionaries, quotations). The critical apparatus consistently notes the versions of the Greek text. In addition, the edition contains an analysis of the historical textual status of the coptic Sahidic version within the transmission of the Septuagint together with a study of the problems of translating from Greek to Coptic and their effect on textual criticism. An index of Greek loan-words and proper names is appended.
