Présentation de l'éditeur

The extent of tJ ie presetit work. The first volume contains what is generally known as the Apocrypha Proper, which constitutes the excess of the Vulgate over the Hebrew Old Testament, which excess was in turn borrowed from the LXX. But this volume differs from the Apocrypha Proper at once in the way of excess and in the way of defect. 3M accabees has been added after 2M accabees, since it is contained in many MSS. of the LXX, and 4E zra has been transferred to Volume ii since it is essentially a Pseudepigraph.

The Fragments of aZ adokite Work arc of an historical character, and are valuable in throwing light on a lost chapter of Jewish religious history. They contain likewise apocalyptic material of an interesting nature. The General Editor, in conclusion, wishes to express his thanks to theD elegates of the Press for undertaking this work, and to theO fficers of the Press, whose help and counsel were always ready to meet each difficulty as it arose. The Editor is also under deep obligations to the many scholars who, notwithstanding the pressure of other duties, have yet given themselves so unsparingly to the tasks they had undertaken, that in every instance most valuable service
