Excerpt from An Outline of the History of the Literature of the Old Testament With Chronological Tables: For the History of the Israelites, and Other Aids to Aids Explanation of the Old TestamentOn pp. 225-247, there is an addition to the matter previously contained in the Supplements, in the form of a Survey of the constituents of the Sources of all the historical books from Genesis to 2 Kings, together with Ezra and Nehemiah. This was requisite because we could not take it for granted that the readers of our Reprint would use along with it the Translation (see above), in which the various documents are distinguished by marginal letters. The Survey now added is naturally in general agreement with those assumptions of literary criticism on which the Translation and the Outline are based. But the renewed weighing of the critical problems and the employment of contributions to the analysis of the sources made by others since 1894, have led to corrections of all kinds, and in some cases (especially with regard to the Third Book of Moses) to more precise results concerning certain strata of the Sources.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
