Review
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. AN UNACCEPTABLE REPRINTBy mephyA photographic reprint of a book is an inexpensive way to get out of print books. The publisher of this reprint has created a disaster. Instead of the introduction; the geneological lists; and a Greek proem; followed by five texts; we find the introduction [with errors]; an undecipherable geneological list; an unreadable proem; and only two books of the Maccabees. Surely this is a publication that should be withdrawn from the market and recycled into pulp for an honest reprint.My thanks to the seller who canceled the purchase when I explained the faults and indicated he would withdraw his advertisement for its sale.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
