Lewis-Gibson : Proverb

Lewis-Gibson

<p style='text-align: justify;'>Fragment from a recension of the Alphabet of Ben Sira, with many variants between it and the edition of Yassif, 1984, pp. 222-226. L-G Glass 26a, 26b and 38 all come from the תולדות בן סירא, questions 3, 4 and 5, and bear most resemblance to recension A. The material in these fragments appears to be continuous, in the following order: 26b (questions 3 and 4 - question 4 begins one third of the way down the verso), 38 f. 1 (question 4), 38 f. 2 (questions 4 and 5 - question 5 begins at the top of verso), 26a (question 5). Ca. 13th century.</p>
