Abstract

The following article deals with the 'hypothetical particle' <img in the Arabic version of the Pentateuch in MS Paris BN copte 1 (14th century). This Arabic version was translated from a Coptic version which is set parallel to it; the instances of <img are very indicative of the work of a translator in a period of lingual transition.
