Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Works of the Late Rev. James Hamilton, D.D. F. L. S , Vol. 3 of 6 In the form of translations, expositions, and literary parallels, there is now connected with each book of the Bible a very extensive authorship; and we might fill a little volume with a historical review of the illustrations of Ecclesiastes, from the Commentary of Jerome to the illuminated edition of Owen Jones. Jerome tells us that his work originated in an effort to bring over to the monastic life a young Roman lady, Blesilla. This object gives an ascetic tone to every chapter, and many of his interpretations are so fanciful that alongside of them any modern Cocceius would be deemed sober and literal. For instance, applying to the Saviour the language of the second chapter, the "slaves," or men-servants there mentioned, he thinks are Christians afflicted with the spirit of bondage; the "great and small cattle," are the simpletons and drudges of the Church - its "sheep and oxen," who, without exerting their reason or studying the Scriptures, do as they are bidden, but are not entitled to rank as men, etc. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
