Proverbs
Introduction
§ 1. NAME OF THE BOOK.
THE book which we are about to consider takes its general title from the words with which it opens in the Hebrew original, The Proverbs of Solomon — Mishle Shelomoh. This name, or, in an abbreviated form, Mishle, has always been current in the Jewish Church. Later, in rabbinical writings, it was cited under the appellation of Sepher Chocmah, ’Book of Wisdom,’ which title also included Ecclesiastes. In the Septuagint it is headed Παροιμιμαι Σαλωμῶντος in some manuscripts, though in others, and those the earliest, the name of Solomon is omitted. St. Jerome, in the Latin Vulgate, gives a longer title: ’Liber Proverbiorum quem Hebraei Misle appellant.’
Among the early Christian writers, in addition to the name given in the Septuagint, it was called Σοφιμα, ’Wisdom,’ or ̓Η Πανάρετπς Σοφία, ’All-virtuous Wisdom,’ though this last title was also applied to Ecclesiasticus and the Book of Wisdom. Clemens Romanus, in his ’Epistle to the Corinthians’ (1:57), heads a quotation from Proverbs 1:23-33 thus: Οὑμτως γαΜρ λεμγει ἡ Παναμρετος Σοφιμα, Thus saith All-virtuous Wisdom.
That this was commonly received as the designation of our book is clear also from Eusebius, who writes (’Hist. Eccl.,’ 4:22), Other passages also, as if from unwritten Jewish tradition, Hegesippus cites; and not only he, but Irenaeus, and the whole band of ancient writers, called the ’Proverbs of Solomon’ ’Panaretos Sophia.’
It is true that in the writings which are attributed to Irenaeus still extant, quotations from the Proverbs are cited simply as Scripture without further definition, but we have no reason to discredit Eusebius’ testimony concerning a matter with which he must have been well acquainted. Two other titles are found, viz. ̔Η Σοφὴ Βίβλος, ’The Wise Book,’ so called by Dionysius of Alexandria; and ΠαιδαγωγικηΜ Σοφιμα, ’Educational Wisdom,’ by Gregory of Nazianzum. Melito of Sardis (according to Eusebius, ’Hist. Eccl.,’ 4:26) states, in giving a catalogue of canonical Scriptures, that the book was known by the name of Σοφιμα, ’Wisdom,’ as well as that of ’Proverbs of Solomon.’ This title, which, better perhaps than that of Proverbs, expresses the chief subject Of the work, seems not to have been invented by the primitive Christian writers, but to have been derived from still earlier times, and to have been handed down by that unwritten Jewish tradition of which Eusebius speaks.
In considering the appropriateness of the usual name of our book, we must see what is meant
