Présentation de l'éditeur
I ir Bjpiie of Ab fact that it is onstomary to Mnd Hin a sine volume, the Old Testament contains a considerable body of literature. Yet, if that literature were simply and unquestionably the product of the small niunber of authors reccnised by tradition though there would be a place for histories of Hebrew literature, there would be Ettle or none for what it has become customary to ca Qcritical introductions Bttt tradition is no loiter really accepted even by oonsenratiye scholars: they may, indeed, maintam, for example, tiiat the Pentateuch is the ork of Moses, but they recognise at the same time that it has received additions from later hands than his, additions, too, of considerably greater extent than the record of Moses death, which even Jewish tra(fition admitted, though not unanimously, to have been written by anothw. The inquiries, then, with which critical introductions are oonoemedy are necessary, and the real difficulty is to do justice to them within the compass of a small volume. What I have attempted is to show first of all that a problem exists, that tradition is inadequate to explain the foots which are revealed by any careful study of the several bodDS. The actual solution of the various problems ean often be but very partial; and the answers to many of the questions that arise tentative, and far from certain. To many of the problems many difi Ferent solutions or variations of the same solution have been given.

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.
