Publisher description
Excerpt from The Hebrew Text, and a Latin Version of the Book of Solomon, Called Ecclesiastes: With Original Notes, Philological and Exegetical, and a Translation of the Commentary of Mendlessohn From the Rabbinic Hebrew, Also a Newly Arranged English Version of Ecclesiastes, With Introductory Analyses of the Sections; To Which Is Prefixed a Prelim The object of the following pages is the exhibition and verification of a method of translating and dividing the book of Solomon called Ecclesiastes, which will be found, I think, to contribute not a little towards a complete demonstration of the perspicuity of its language and style, and the uniform accordance of its arguments and conclusions with the general tenor of scriptural doctrine. The manifest imperfection in these important qualities of our received English and other approved versions of it cannot fail more or less to have engaged the attention of their readers, and to have produced a corresponding desire for satisfactory evidence that the same defects do not belong to their original. Such at least had long been the case with myself, and especially since I found, on consulting several of the most distinguished Commentators, that many of the most obscure passages in them had been either totally neglected or very insufficiently explained, and that others, whose sense was apparently at variance with the rest of Holy Writ, had on that account been unhesitatingly construed into a sense nearly the reverse of their primary and obvious one.
