A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The Date and Authorship of the Book of Provekbs. A. The general qi Lestion. The view has been held by some in the past that Solomon was the author of the whole book, the names A gur and Lemuel which appear as those of authors in chap. 30 and 31 being merely descriptive designations of Solomon. This view was never very widely held and has been generally abandoned, so that it is not necessary to give it detailed consideration. Two general views concerning the date and authorship of the book are now quite commonly held. One is that most or all of the book was written and collected in pre-exilic times, Solomon being the author of a greater or less amount, but at any rate of the kernel of the book. The other is that the book was all written and collected in late post-exilic times, none of it being written by Solomon. The dates assigned for the final collection of the book vary from about 350 to 180 B. c, the time of the composition of the various parts being supposed to cover about a century. Most of the recent writers on the book hold the second view. In considering this question there will be noticed, first, the arguments adduced in favor of the late date, with answers to them ;and second, the arguments that may be offered in favor of the early date. 1. The arguments in favor of the late date. The arguments of this kind here considered will be chiefly those found in the recent commentaries of Wildeboer, who favors a date for the final collection of about 250 b. c. ;F rankenberg, whose date is not earlier than 180 B. c.; and Toy, whose date for the completion is in the second century b. c. These arguments are of two kinds, arguments from language, and arguments from the substance of the book, including thought and historical allusions. (1) Arguments from language. These, without referring to the Hebrew, can only be considered in a very general way. These argumen

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
