Overview

Excerpt from Gnomic Literature in Bible and Apocrypha: With Special Reference to the Gnomic Fragments and Their Bearing on the Proverb Collections The attempt has been made, further, from the study of the fragments extant, to establish the presence of a litera ture to some extent heretical. Because it was heretical it was antagonized and later destroyed by the victorious school of the prophets. Nevertheless, some traces still remain to speak of the wide influence that these sayings of the popular phrase makers had upon the people. Through this examination, it is hoped that some gaps left by the study of the independent groups of proverbs as found in the Wisdom Literature will be filled up, and the knowledge of the old masters - the wise men - be increased.
