THIS E X T R A VOLUME
•
—
of the DICTIONARY OF THE B I B L E contains thirty-seven Articles,
six Indexes, and four Maps.
A word will be sufficient on each of these parts of its
Contents. I.
THE
ARTICLES
Those who hare kept in touch with the study of the Bible in recent years will understand why it has been found necessary to prepare an Extra Volume.
Dis-
coveries have been made which have an important bearing on the interpretation of both the Old Testament and the New.
I t is enough to name the three articles
which stand first in the alphabetical list given b e l o w — A G R A P I I A , APOCRYPHAL GOSPELS, and CODE OF HAMMURABI.
A
Dictionary of the Bible cannot ignore such discoveries.
But they do not form part of the Contents of the Bible ; nor do they deal directly with its Language or its Literature ; so that they are not likely to be looked for in the alphabetical order of words in the Dictionary.
The best way seemed to be to
gather them into an Extra Volume. Other articles will be found in this volume, for reasons which will be readily understood and appreciated.
Some of them, like the article on the Sermon on the
Mount, with which the volume opens, might have taken their place in the alphabetical order of the Dictionary.
But they have not usually been so included, and
it was felt that the Extra Volume would give more prominence to their special character and importance. II.
THE
INDEXES
The Indexes have been prepared with great care.
They are full, and yet it
will be found that every item in them has been carefully selected and described. The INDEX OF T E X T S contains all the passages of Scripture upon which there is any note of consequence in the Dictionary; and, again, the most important notes are
vi
PREFACE
distinguished by their authors' names.
Further, it sometimes happens that a text
is quoted in support or illustration of some argument : when such a quotation throws significant light upon the text itself, it is included in the Index. The INDEX OF S U B J E C T S contains the titles of all the articles in the Dictionary, including the E x t r a Volume.
I t also refers to a great many other topics which
are dealt with in the course of the work.
When the subject of an article comes up
for treatment in other places, and a reference is made to these places, then the reference in the Index is always to the article itself.
first
Thus—ITHAMAR, ii. 5 1 9 a ; i. 6 b ;
ii. 1 2 3 a ; iv. 89 b -—the second volume is mentioned before the first because in it falls the article under its own title ; there is also some account of Ithamar in the article on Abiathar in vol. i. p. 6 b , as well as in the other places noted. is of some length the name of the author is given.
When the article
His name is not repeated under
the same heading, so that references without a name attached are to be ascribed to the first author mentioned. The cross-references Index itself. ' Apoc.':
in the Index of Subjects are always to other parts of the
Words which occur only in the Apocrypha are marked ' Ap.' or
as Dabria (Ap.). III.
THE
MAPS
The m a p s are intended to illustrate the articles on EOADS AND TRAVEL.
These
articles will be of great service to the student of either Testament, and the maps will add to the value of the articles.
But they have been prepared so as to be complete
maps of the countries they cover, the Eoads which are marked on them additional to the information which such maps usually contain.
oeing
They have been
prepared under the direct supervision of Professor Buhl (for the Old Testament) and Professor liamsay (for the New), who have spared no pains to make them accurate and up to date. And now the work on this Dictionary of the Bible is at an end.
The Editor
has been assisted by the same friends as before and with the same readiness, and he heartily thanks them all.
He is also grateful for the way in which the four volumes
already published have been received.
