87 well informed, he uses his non-biblical sources, giving preference to platonizing stoicism. Chapter IV deals with the immortality of the soul. Perhaps the author of Sap. Salom. tried to reconcile Greek notions of immortality with biblical resurrection doctrines. Chapter V is devoted to the relation between Wisdom and Spirit in Sap. Salom.). REVIEW OF BOOKS Immanuel Löw, Fauna und Mineralien der Juden. Herausgegeben und mit einem Vorwort und Anmerkung versehen von Alexander SCHEIBER, Georg Olms Verlagsbuchhandlung Hildesheim 1969, 198 p. (Immanuel L-5w, a Hungarian rabbi (1854-1944), devoted much of his time to the study of the vocabulary of Realien in Hebrew literature. His first publication was Die arama'i.rchen Pflanzennamen (1881). In 1934 a large work on the plant names in the whole of Jewish literature appeared, and between 1906 and 1944 various articles on fauna and minerals. The latter are here assembled in one volume.) REVIEW OF BOOKS O. MICHEL-S. SARAI-R. LE DEAUT-M. DE JONGE-J. VAN GOUD- OEVER, Studies on the Jewish Background of the New Testament, Van Gorcum & Comp. N.V., Assen 1969, VIII + 86 p. (To promote the common study of the New Testament period, Jewish and Christian scholars set up in Amsterdam in 1964 a Working Committee for the publication of Compendia rerum iudaicarum ad Novum Te.rtamentum. A first international conference was held from 9-12 April 1967 at Hilversum (Netherlands). The papers read and discussed there form the contents of the booklet. After a Preface of H. van Praag, president of the Working Committee, Michel in his in- troductory paper deals with the exegetical method, stressing the importance of the study of the logia-tradition in the light of Jewish contemporary sources. Safrai treats the question of the pilgrimage to Jerusalem in the first century, a historic Jewish institution, which provides a background to a number of New Testament passages. Le Deaut analyses the religious ideas connected with the celebration of Passover. De Jonge raises a methodo- logical question respecting the interpretation of certain religious key words, particularly with regard to the word Messiah in the Qumran scrolls. Van Goudoever deals with the different Jewish traditions of observing the span of 50 days between Passover and Pentecost and the influence of such celebra- tion on early Christianity).

(This is a revised edition of the first volume of the author's History of the Jews in Babylonia, dealing wtih the Parthian period (140 B.C.-227 A.D.). The history and culture of Babylonian Jews reveal substantial development under the Parthians. Arsacid rule did not mark a period of stagnation, but of considerable creativity among the Jews. The relationships between Jews and Parthians are outlined and the growth of Jewish institutions of self-government is discussed. A continuing theme concerns the complex relationships between the Palestinian Jewish centre and the Babylonian diaspora).
