What is Manuscript Genealogy? Traces how a biblical book traveled through history — from its original composition through scribal copying, translation into Greek and Aramaic, and on to the manuscripts we have today. Each branch of the transmission tree tells a different story about the text.

Manuscript Transmission Genealogy

Select a book to trace its transmission history across manuscript families — Masoretic Text, Septuagint, Dead Sea Scrolls, Samaritan Pentateuch, and ancient translations.

MT (Masoretic) LXX (Septuagint) DSS (Dead Sea Scrolls) SP (Samaritan Pentateuch) Peshitta Targum Vulgate
