The Oxford Handbook of the Textual Criticism of the Bible, eds. Crawford & Wasserman

Any day now, Oxford University Press will publish The Oxford Handbook of the Textual Criticism of the Bible edited by Sidnie White Crawford and myself. I think we began working on this handbook in 2019, and there were many hurdles along the way, but soon I will hold the volume in my hand. Hopefully, the OUP will bring some copies to the SBL in Boston, but you can never be sure. In the meantime you can get 30% off with the promotion code AUFLY30. 

Below the flyer, I have pasted the table of contents (minus page numbers).

 It is possible to read a bit on google books (e.g., the whole introduction which summarizes the chapters).
