SAYINGS OF THE JEWISH FATHERS, 
comprising Pirqe Aboth and Pereq R. Meir in Hebrew and English, 
with Critical and Illustrative Notes. By Charles Taylor, D.D. 
Master of St John’s College, Cambridge, and Honorary Fellow of 
King’s College, London. Demy 8vo. cloth, ios. 
“The ‘Masseketh Aboth’ stands at the 
head of Hebrew non-canonical writings. It 
is of ancient date, claiming to contain the 
dicta of teachers who flourished from b . c . 200 
to the same year of our era. The precise 
time of its compilation in its present form is, 
of course, in doubt. Mr Taylor’s explana- 
tory and illustrative commentary is very full 
and satisfactory.” — Spectator. 
“If we mistake not, this is the first pre- 
cise translation into the English language 
accompanied by scholarly notes, of any por- 
tion of the Talmud. In other words, it is 
the first instance of that most valuable and 
neglected portion of Jewish literature being 
treated in the same way as a Greek classic 
in an ordinary critical edition. . . The Tal- 
mudic books, which have been so strangely 
neglected, we foresee will be the most im- 
portant aids of the future for the proper un- 
derstanding of the Bible. . . The Sayings 0/ 
the Jewish Fathers may claim to be scholar- 
ly, and, moreover, of a scholarship unusually 
thorough and finished.” — Dublin Univer- 
sity Magazine. 
“A careful and thorough edition which 
does credit to English scholarship, of a short 
treatise from the Mishna, containing a series 
of sentences or maxims ascribed mostly to 
Jewish teachers immediately preceding, or 
immediately following the Christian era. . . ”

THEODORE OF MOPSUESTIA’S COMMENTARY 
ON THE MINOR EPISTLES OF S. PAUL, 
The Latin Version with the Greek Fragments, edited from the MSS. 
with Notes and an Introduction, by H. B. Swete, D.D., Rector of 
Ashdon, Essex, and late Fellow of Gonville and Caius College, 
Cambridge. In Two Volumes. Vol. I., containing the Introduction, 
with Facsimiles of the MSS., and the Commentary upon Galatians — 
Colossians. Demy 8vo. 12s. 
“ In dem oben verzeichneten Buche liegt 
uns die erste Halfte einer vollstandigen, 
ebenso sorgfaltig gearbeiteten wie schon 
ausgestatteten Ausgabe des Commentars mit 
ausfiihrlichen Prolegomena und reichhaltigen 
kritischen und erlauternden Anmerkungen 
vor. ” — Literarisches Cen tralblatt. 
“ It is the result of thorough, careful, and 
patient investigation of all the points bearing 
on the subject, and the results are presented 
with admirable good sense and modesty. Mr 
Swete has prepared himself for his task by a 
serious study of the literature and history 
which are connected with it ; and he has pro- 
duced a volume of high value to the student, 
not merely of the theology of the fourth and 
fifth centuries, but of the effect of this theo- 
logy on the later developments of doctrine 
and methods of interpretation, in the ages 
immediately following, and in the middle 
ages. ” — Guardian. 
“ Auf Grund dieser Quellen ist der Text 
bei Swete mit musterhafter Akribie herge- 
stellt. Aber auch sonst hat der Herausgeber 
mit unermiidlichem Fleisse und eingehend- 
ster Sachkenntniss sein Werk mit alien den- 
jenigen Zugaben ausgeriistet, welche bei einer 
solchen Text-Ausgabe nur irgend erwartet 
werden konnen. . . . Yon den drei Haupt- 
handschriften . . . sind vortreffiiche photo- 
graphische Facsimile’s beigegeben, wie uber- 
haupt das ganze Werk von der University 
Press zu Cambridge mit bekannter Eleganz 
ausgestattet ist. ” — Theologische L iteratur- 
zeitung. 
“It is a hopeful sign, amid forebodings 
which arise about the theological learning 
of the Universities, that we have before us 
the first instalment of a thoroughly scientific 
and painstaking work, commenced at Cam- 
bridge and completed at a country rectory.” 
— Church Quarterly Review (Jan. 1881). 
“ Hernn Swete’s Leistung ist eine so 
tiichtige dass wir das Werk in keinenbesseren 
Handen wissen mochten, und mit den sich- 
ersten Erwartungen auf das Gelingen der 
Fortsetzung entgegen s e h e n . ” — Gottingischr 
gelehrte Anzeigen (Sept. 1881).
