Goldschmidt :<br />

Das Buch Henoch aus dem Aethiopischen in<br />

die urspricnglich hebrdische Abfassungssprache zuriickubersetzt<br />

mil einer Finleitung und Noten versehen y 1892. This retrans-<br />

lation is the work <strong>of</strong> a very young scholar, and, being so,<br />

it is a creditable performance. It labours, however, under<br />

many defects. First, it is based on Dln/s <strong>Ethiopic</strong> text,<br />

which is very corrupt : secondly, the author appears to trans-<br />

late at times not <strong>from</strong> the <strong>Ethiopic</strong> as he pr<strong>of</strong>esses, but directly<br />

<strong>from</strong> Dln.'s German translation, as in xxxvi. 3 ; xxxvii. 2 ;<br />

lxxxix. 7, &c. : thirdly, he mistranslates occasionally familiar<br />

phrases, possibly through carelessness : and finally, he intro-<br />

duces conjectures into the text without any attempted justifi-<br />

cation in the notes. Notwithstanding, we are grateful to the<br />

author for his <strong>book</strong>, and regard it as full <strong>of</strong> promise for his<br />

future. For my review <strong>of</strong> this <strong>book</strong> see Jewish Quarterly,<br />

Jan. 1893, pp. 327-329.
