Abstract

142 incomplete, closes the book; appended is a set of photographs of all of the fragments. The book is made with a loving care (curiously enough the one mistake I detected outside the central section concerns our journal: JSJ 7 did not appear in 1957, as is stated on p. 9, but 1976). However, its inclusion in the prestigious DJD series may tend to confer it a quasi-canonical status which, by its very character, it should not have. One can make calcula- tions about the number of letters a line may have had, and investigations into a translator's principles, but none of them yields certain reconstruc- tions ; so although the reconstructed lines might well be afforded the status of probable guesses, they do not give us the lost texts. Even the extant parts, as presented in this edition, should not be taken for granted. A thorough examination of them needs not only an expert knowledge com- parable to Mr. Tov's, but also a personal inspection of the MS. Such an examination is forthcoming in the review article written by E. PUECH for the Revue de Qumr6n; cf. also his "Les fragments non identifi6s de 8KhXIIgr et le
