The Apocalypse of Baruch (1896 Charles), book
The Apocalypse of Baruch (1896) is a book by Robert Henry Charles.
Abstract
"Translated from the Syriac. Chapters I.-LXXVII. from the sixth cent. ms. in the Ambrosian Library of Milan, and chapters LXXVIII-LXXXVII-The Epistle of Baruch from a new and critical text based on ten mss. and published herewith. Edited with introduction, notes, and indices."
This is the first commentary on 2 Baruch, which provides a critical edition of the Syriac text with an English translation, commentary, and notes. Influenced by the work of Eugene de Faye and R. Kabisch, Charles argues that 2 Baruch was the product of several editors, combining sources written before and after the destruction of the temple, rather than being a unified whole.
