== Manuscripts == The earliest surviving manuscript is in [[Coptic language|Coptic]], of the 5th century; other early surviving manuscripts are in Greek and [[Old Church Slavonic|Old Slavonic]]. In 1967, Sebastian Brock published an edition of the Testament using the Greek ms P as his base.<ref>Brock, Sebastian P. Testamentum Iobi. Pseudepigrapha Veteris Testamenti Graeca 2 Leiden: Brill, 1967 P. 1β59</ref> Then a bilingual Greek and English edition, edited by Robert A. Kraft, was issued in New York by the Society of Biblical Literature in 1974 with {{ISBN|0-88414-044-X}}. It used the Greek mss S-V as the base.<ref>Ed Gallagher 2025, [https://sanctushieronymus.blogspot.com/2025/05/testament-of-job-textual-attestation.html?m=1 Testament of Job: Textual Attestation.]</ref> Maria Haralambakis (2012) surveyed as many as nine Slavonic manuscripts, some of which are now lost. The date of these manuscripts is between the 14th and 18th centuries. Also she covers the ongoing publication of the Coptic text, which is unfortunately rather fragmentary.<ref>Maria Haralambakis 2012, [https://api.pageplace.de/preview/DT0400.9780567064981_A23694637/preview-9780567064981_A23694637.pdf The Testament of Job: Text, Narrative and reception History.] Bloomsbury T&T Clark</ref> The Slavonic tradition is not believed to be derived from the two main Greek textual traditions. It seems to be separate from them, and contains the readings characteristic of both of them.<ref>Brock, Sebastian P. Testamentum Iobi. Pseudepigrapha Veteris Testamenti Graeca 2 Leiden: Brill, 1967 P. 1β59. pages 14-15</ref>
