Abstract

194 REVIEW OF BOOKS made use of pagan literary traditions, and employed stylistic devices of hellenistic rhetoric foreign to the usage of the LXX". He was influenced by Epicurean speculation on immortality and its nature, by the popular religion of hellenized Egypt as exercised in the Isis cult, and by anthropological and ethical teachings found in the treatises on kingship. Ch. 3 deals with the literary genre of the book which is defined as the protreptic or didactic exhortation. Ch. 4 is devoted to the unity and the addressees of the book. The work was not written for a popular audience but for the religious education of Jewish students who were preparing for life in the hellenistic metropolis Alexandria. Its author lived there as a teacher in one of the Jewish centers of learning. Being well acquainted w?ith contemporary culture, he tried to demonstrate the relevance of the principles of Judaism to the future intellectual leaders of his people. Ch. 5 gives a summary and conclusions). VDW. REVIEW OF BOOKS J. R. ROSENBLOOM, The Dead Sea Isaiah Scroll: a Literary Analysis. A Comparison with the Masoretic Text and the Biblia Hebraica, W. B.
