Excerpt from The Text of the Old Testament The three lectures printed here and which were delivered in December, 1915, are a further development of the following ideas' which I put forward in my book Archaeology of the Old Testament. The books of the Old Testament are not in their original form. The earliest of them were written in Babylonian cuneiform, the later ones in Aramaic.
