Abstract

REVIEW OF BOOKS Books and articles (including those written in modern Hebrew), received by the secretary of this Journal, will be reviewed as soon as possible. In the present volume the reviews of books and articles, published during the first nine months of 1969, are for the most part written by Dr. Jongeling (Groningen) and the undersigned. Reviews written by other contributors are indicated as such by their initials: D.: R. le Déaut, Rome K.: A. F. J. Klijn, Groningen I.: S. R. Isenberg, Princeton v. d. W. P.
