Excerpt from The Assumption of Moses: Translated From the Latin Sixth Century Ms., The Unemended Text of Which Is Published Herewith, Together With the Text in Its Restored and Critically Emended Form Edited

It may be well here to indicate the features in which this edition differs from previous editions of the Assumption. These consist (1) in a fuller and more critical treatment of the Latin text, and of the Greek and Semitic background which it pre supposes; (2) in an exegesis of the text at once more comprehensive and detailed.

Excerpt from The Assumption of Moses: Translated From the Latin Sixth, Century the Unemended Text, of Which Is Published Herewith, Together With the Text in Its Restored and Critically Emended Form Edited

Written in Hebrew shortly after the beginning of the Christian era, this book was designed by its author to protest against the growing secularisation of the Pharisaic party through its fusion with political ideals and popular Messianic beliefs. Its author, a Pharisaic Quietist, sought herein to recall his party to the old paths, which they were fast forsaking, of Simple unobtrusive obedience to the Law. He glorifies, accordingly, the old ideals which had been cherished and pursued by the Chasid and Early Pharisaic party, but which the Pharisaism of the first century B.C. had begun to disown in favour of a more active role in the life of the nation. He foresaw, perhaps, the doom to which his country was hurrying under such a shortsighted and unspiritual policy, and laboured with all his power to stay its downward progress. But all in vain. He but played afresh the part of Cassandra.
