The Original Hebrew of a Portion of Ecclesiasticus: Translation

Authors and translators A. E. Cowley and Adolf Neubauer tackle the difficult task of translating newly discovered leafs that form part of the original Hebrew text of Ecclesiasticus. The authors provide an introduction to the history of the text, a grouping of Ben Sira’s proverbs preserved in Talmudic and Rabbinic literature, and a glossary. The volume then contains the Hebrew text with the Old Latin, Greek, and Syriac versions along with the English translation for side-by-side comparison.
