REST OF THE WORDS OF BARUCH

This article appears in Volume V03, Page 455 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: RAY-RHU
REST OF THE WORDS OF BARUCH . This book was undoubtedly written originally by a Jew but was subsequently revised by a Christian, as has been shown by Kohler in the Jewish Quarterly
Review
  (1893), pp. 407409. It passed under a
double
  name in the Abyssinian Church, where it was known both as " the Rest of the Words of Baruch " and " the Rest of the Words of Jeremiah." Its Greek name is the latterea vrapaAetv6yeaa 'Iepeiou 7rpo ijrov. It has been preserved in Greek, Ethiopic, Armenian and Slavonic. The Greek was first printed at Venice in 'bog, next by Ceriani in 1868 in his Mon. Sacra, v. 1r-18; by Harris, The Rest of the Words of Baruch, in 1889; and Bassiliev, Anec. Graeco-Byzantina, i. 308 sqq. (1893). The book begins like the Syriac
Apocalypse
  of Baruch with an account of the removal of the sacred vessels of theTemple before its capture by the Chaldees. Baruch remains in Jerusalem and Jeremiah accompanies the Exiles to Babylon. After 66 years'
exile
  Jeremiah brings back the
Jews
  to Jerusalem, but refuses to admit such as had brought with them
heathen
  wives. Then follows a vision of Jeremiah which is Christian.
Harris regards the book in its, p' esent form as an eirenicon addressed to the
Jews
  by a Christian after the rebellion of Bar Cochba (Barcochebas) and written about 136. Though the
original
 
work
  was dependent on the
Apocalypse
  of Baruch it cannot have been written much before the close of the 1st cent. A.D. Its terminus ad quern is at present indeterminable.
(R. H. C.)
