A SAMARITAN BOOK OF JOSHUA

Dr. M. Gaster the other day delivered before the Royal Asiatic Society a lecture on his recent diservery of the Aramaio manuscript of the Book of Joshua accord- ing to the Samaritan recension. Dr Gaster said for the discovery itself he claimed vo

merit; it was simply a matter of chance-MITSU BISHI COSHI KWAISHA

It might be suggested that the work was cartier date; or wasi compiled at an perhaps, a translation from Ambio or Greek. But here again he would ask: Qui bono? What purpose would have been served by such an attempt te palm off a late comphibien se in early one. It was not needed to gratify the Samaritans, for their Arabic and anonymous dronicles included a very expanded history of Foshta -very much more than the Hebrew text contained. No one so well aeqosiated with the Hebrew text of Joshus as the editor would have retranslated an Arabic book when he could have taken it bodily from the Mastoretic text if wanted. No doubt the text suffered in the course of its long transmission, and popular forms and expressions tinged by Arabic ID adversa influence crept in; but conclusion could be drawn from the philological aspect of these interpollations. It was equally untenable to suggest a translation rom the Greek, even in the second century, when great Samaritan writers flourished in Egypt, and probably algo iu Palestine. There was not a single Look in existence, either among Jews or aong Samaritans of that period, for which direct Greek source could be found; and it would be strange indeed if there was an exception in this single instance. The work, moreover, was very deftly done, andá the omissions and additions showed the master, or rither of a school. hand of H Finally, the agreement with Josephus on many of the points in which the text-differ- ed from the Massoretic must convince the most sceptical that this modern capy was the reflex and direct copy of a version bich in the second century was popular and current among the people. Of the internal evidences of genuineness ho had already written in the Timer, and he only

now desired to allude to the paleographio evidence and to the parallels supplied by Rabbinical literature, After adducing further arguments, Dr Gaster said, in con- clusion, that the discovery opaned up new probles for higher criticism and could not be without affect on Biblical science.
