About This Item
MANUSCRIPT IN INK. 4to, 29 leaves written on verso only, together with a number of blanks; bound in the original limp sheep.
An unpublished enquiry into the origins of the Book of Proverbs.
Percival, or Percy, Neale Harrison was born in 1874 in Hanley, Staffordshire, and was schooled in Newcastle and at Corpus Christi in Oxford where he graduated with honours. He then studied at Mansfield and also in Germany and at the age of 46 was awarded the degree Doctor of Divinity by the senate of London University. All that is known about his professional life is that he became a Reverend at Salisbury and Reading before settling in Beaconsfield. After the publication of The Problem of the Pastoral Epistles he wrote one other major monograph on the integrity of Polycarp's letter to the Philippians and a companion/supplementary volume to his original study of the Pastoral Epistles. Today, new research has cast much doubt on statistical deductions on the authenticity of the Pastoral Epistles.
In this manuscript Harrison sketches out a similar investigation into the Book of Proverbs, discerning where authorship, form, character, influence and comparisons lay. As far as we can tell this work was never completed, published or incorporated into his other works, although it gives a useful indication on how he planned his research.
