Excerpt from History of the Church of Ireland, From the Revolution to the Union of the Churches of England and Ireland, January 1, 1801: With a Catalogue of the Archbishops and Bishops, Continued to November, 1840; And a Notice of the Alterations Made in the Hierarchy by the Act of 3 and 4 William IV., Chap. 37 IN the first Chapter, second Section, of the present volume, it is related, that with the exception of one prelate, Sheridan, bishop of Kilmore and Ardagh, there was, after the abdication of King James II., a general acquiescence in the change of dynasty amongst the mem liers of the Irish hierarchy. No other instance had fallen under my notice: and that 110 other existed I inferred from the silence of Mr. Harris, who particularly records the case of the non-juring Bishop Sheridan.

/0A long-standing tradition within biblical scholarship sets the Greek text of the Septuagint constantly in relationship with its supposed Hebrew or Aramaic Vorlage, examining the two together in terms of their grammatical alignment as a standard. Yet another tradition frames the discussion in different terms, preferring instead to address the Septuagint first of all in light of its contemporary Greek linguistic environment and only then attempting to describe its language and style as a text. It is this latter approach that William A. Ross employs in this textually based study of the Greek versions of Judges, a so-called double text in the textual history of the Septuagint. The results of his study offer a window into the Old Greek translation and its later revision, two distinct stages of Greek Judges with numerous instances of divergent vocabulary choices that reflect deliberateness in both the original selection and the subsequent change within the textual development of the book. Ross’s study illustrates the practicalities and payoff of a Greek-oriented lexicographical method that situates the language of the Septuagint squarely within its contemporary historical and linguistic context.
