  • Notes: first edition. "Wessely began his literary career with the translation of the apocryphal work Wisdom of Solomon (from Luther's German translation), to which he appended a brief commentary... He pioneered in the revival of biblical Hebrew and his translation, written in the vivid and lofty style of the Scriptures, prompted later Haskalah writers to translate apocryphal works into Biblical Hebrew"--EJ XVI, 461.
