This monograph deals with an unexplained document of Hellenistic Judaism. The question of "Hellenistic Influence" is addressed on the basis of an analysis of a representative number of chapters of Septuagint Proverbs (1-2, 6, 8-9, 24, 29-31). Scholars have argued that this book was influenced extensively by Greek philosophy. The author follows a contextual cultural method. The Greek text is analyzed on four levels: the semantic, syntactical, stylistic and the theological. The conclusion is that the impact of Stoicism on this Greek version has been overestimated in the past.

1862. This is a collection of the proverbs of Scotland, with explanatory and illustrative notes and a glossary. Throughout the volume, a considerable number of notes are introduced. The compiler states that many of these notes are mere literal explanations or illustrations, conveying generally a poor idea of the deeper meaning which the proverbs themselves are capable of yielding. The reader will find a very wide array of proverbs used even today.
