Abstract

334 according to sound principles; that they reproduced practically without any change the original publications; that the general Introduction was valuable, and that the whole Corpus would prove to be a useful help to everybody who was interested in the history of the Jewish diaspora. In my review of volume II (ibid. XV, 1962, p. 82 f.) I promised to give a definitive opinion concerning the whole after the publication of volume III. This is necessary and possible also, because I had ample opportunity to consult the book. What I said previously still holds good. This Corpus is useful and handy, and, as a rule, reliable. But there are blemishes. The critical and exegetical notes are too often incomplete; from time to time it does not appear clearly how the editor interprets the contents. Space is lacking here to give examples, but I think that every reader will get the same impression. One of the reasons is, probably, that no less than four editors had to collaborate at different periods and that Tcherikover, the chief editor, died already in 1958. But I am afraid that the principal reason is that they were too easily satisfied with the results obtained
