This fully-fledged critical edition is based primarily on the evidence of the major Greek witnesses, Codex Vaticanus (B) and Codex Sinaiticus (S), which Ziegler believed to be related, and Codex Alexandrinus (A), but it also draws on the evidence of all the other Greek witnesses and of the versions, particularly the Old Latin. This (the Old Latin) dates from the second half of the second century and is of particular importance because it is based on Greek manuscripts earlier than any still extant. In addition to Ziegler’s edition, I have consulted the manual edition of the Septuagint edited by Alfred Rahlfs (Septuaginta. Id est Vetus Testamentum graece iuxta LXX interpretes, 2 vols. [Stuttgart: Württembergische Bibelanstalt, 1935]), which was used as the basis of the NRSV of the Wisdom of Salomon (Solomon) .  \nI have diverged from the critical text established by Ziegler in only six cases. In two of these, Ziegler adopted into his text readings based on the evidence of the Old Latin: in 2.9 I read 9hm~wn, which is attested by most of the Greek witnesses, and not leimw&n (= pratum of the Old Latin), and in 18.23 I read t\\hn 0orgh/n, attested by all the Greek witnesses, and not t\\hn 9ormh/n (= Old Latin impetum) . In 12.5 I follow an old conjecture and read fona/j in place of fone/aj. In 7.1 I read qnhto/j with B*-S, not qnht\\oj 1anqrwpoj, and in 15.14 I read o katadunasteu/santej, which is attested by many Greek manuscripts and seems to be required by the sense, not katadunasteu/santej. Finally, in 15.17 I read 0anq’ w{n with Sand other Greek witnesses, not w{n. In all six cases the reading I have adopted corresponds to that followed by the NRSV.  \nCHARACTER OF THE GREEK  \nThere is widespread recognition that the WisSal was composed in Greek, and the few suggestions that have been made for composition in Hebrew or Aramaic and for translation into Greek have found little support. The book is an example of a protreptic work (protreptik\\oj lo/goj), an exhortation to adopt a particular philosophy, and it deploys literary genres familiar from Hellenistic rhetorical texts includingthe diatribe (1.1–6.11 + 6.17–20; 11.15–15.19), the “problem” genre (6.12–16 + 6.21–10.21), and the comparison (su/gkrisij, 11.1–14 + 16.1–19.22) . Correspondingly, as Reese in his important study of the literary style and vocabulary of WisSal has shown,1 the book is written in a good Greek style and shows none of the characteristics of translation Greek. The author does adapt his style to the point that he makes use of parallelismus membrorum, which is a characteristic feature of Hebrew verse, but he also employs “the features of florid Greek rhetorical prose.”2 The author uses a full range of Hellenistic stylistic devices, and this is evident particularly in his very frequent use of hyperbaton, both hyperbaton involving the separation of the article from its substantive and hyperbaton not linked to an article. A common type of the latter in Wisdom is the placing of a verb form between a noun and its modifier, e.g., parosa/n te mimontai a0uth/n (4 .2) .3  \nThe very frequent use of hyperbaton is obvious on even a casual reading of the Greek of the WisSal. But the rhetorical character of the Greek is likewise evident in the frequent occurrence of different types of wordplay, such as assonance and alliteration.4 The author also employs various figures of speech that are typical of Hellenistic Greek, of which the sorites of 6.17–20 is merely the best known example.  \n1 J.
