Présentation de l'éditeur

Although it was foreseen in 1905 when Part I was issued that some time would elapse before another part could be published, exacting professional duties and the preparation of the volume on Ecclesiastes for the International Critical Commentary have delayed the appearance of this part longer than was then anticipated. In copying the texts published in Part I the writer began with the view that an editor should reproduce exactly what he saw as nearly as he could, thus passing on all the peculiarities of individual scribes, who often wrote carelessly. This justly laid some of the work in Part I open to criticism. The writer is convinced that an editor should reproduce the characteristic palaeography of the period, but should not copy scribal idiosyncrasies to such an extent as to make texts misleading. This may easily happen, for peculiarities reproduced upon paper make a different impression than when observed on clay. These facts have been borne in mind in copying the texts which follow, although to a limited extent scribal variations have been permitted to appear. GEORGE A. BARTON. Bryn Mawr, Pa., July,
