- Abstract
- Until recently, textual criticism and historical–critical scholarship have been considered as two separate disciplines. However, due to important developments within the field of textual criticism itself – not least thanks to the discovery of new manuscript findings – it has become evident that both fields of research are intrinsically interwoven. The present contribution – written in honour of Prof. Dr. Herrie van Rooy – explores this relationship on the basis of the passage of the call narrative of Gideon in Judg 6. It will demonstrate how the pericope of the unknown prophet (Judg 6:7–10), and more particularly its absence in 4QJudga, can serve as a good example to clarify the close intertwinement between historically oriented literary criticism and textual criticism.
