Ecclesiasticus is a religious work, written in Hebrew in the second
century BCE by the Jewish scribe Jesus ben Sirach. Although it was
not accepted into the Hebrew Bible and the original version is
lost, its Greek translation is found in the Septuagint. The focus
of this study by Cambridge scholar J. H. A. Hart (1876 1952) is on
the Greek text of Ecclesiasticus from a fourteenth-century codex,
written in a miniscule cursive hand. First published in 1909, the
book contains the text in transcription, based on the work of
Charles Taylor, who had previously published a study of the text.
Hart next investigates its relationship to surviving fragments of
the Hebrew version, and the results of his research are included in
his textual commentary. He provides a thorough analysis of the
Greek translator's prologue and compares variant Greek versions of
the work. Hart's edition remains of use to biblical scholars today.
