As in other Eastern Orthodox traditions, the book of Judith was transmitted as part of the Old Testament canon within the Syriac traditions. Moreover, as with other biblical documents, the text of Judith exists in multiple recensions in various Syriac manuscripts. In the present volume, J. P. M. van der Ploeg presents the Syriac text and English translation of the book of Judith from an eighteenth century manuscript that represents a previously unpublished version of the text. The Syriac text is presented in facsimiles of the pages of the manuscript.
