Overview

In the fourth book of Ezra (the second of Esdras in the Apocrypha) the incoherent transition from the 35th to the 36th verse of the seventh chapter has long been a stumbling block for readers of and commentators on the English Bible. In the beginning of the eighteenth century, an Arabic version was published that contained a long passage between the verses in question, restoring the connection. Soon after, various other versions were studied and translated, approaching the connection in much the same way. Robert L. Bensly tracked down the Amiens MS that once belonged to the Benedictine Abbey of Corbie, in the neighborhood of Amiens. The Missing Fragment of the Latin Translation of the Fourth Book of Ezra contains Bensly’s English translation of that much-sought-after Latin portion of Scripture, along with valuable notes and references.
