cit., p. 34. 2 He is followed by Wright, McNeile, and Barton, in their works on Ecclesiastes. THE BOOK OF WISDOM 457 form of personated authorship." 1 This puts the matter on a higher plane altogether. That the writer of our book had what he considered to be the erroneous teaching of Ecclesiastes in mind will be clear to any one who reads Wisdom ii. 1-9 in conjunction with the following passages from Ecclesiastes : 2 Wisdom ii. 1 with Ecclesiastes ii. 23, v. 1. ii. 2 „ „ hi. 19, cp. ix. ii. ii.... 3 „ „ xii. 7. ii. 4 „ „ i. n, ii. 16, ix. 5, ii. 11. „ ii. 5 „ „ vi. 12, viii. 8. „ ii. 6 ,.. „ ii. 24. „ ii. 7 „ „ ix. 7. ii. 8 „ „ ix. 8. „ ii. 9 ,, ,, hi. 22 , v. 18., ix. 8. In Wisdom ii. 1 ff. (" For they said within themselves, reasoning not aright . . .") the writer is describing the tenets of the ungodly ; and what he says agrees not only in substance, but often even verbally, with the corresponding passages in Ecclesiastes. Bearing Plumptre's words in mind, therefore, and remem- bering what has been said above 3 regarding the estimate of the function and importance of authorship among Easterns of earlier times, we should not be justified in seeing any fraudulent intention on the part of our author in putting the name of Solomon to the title of his book.
