Excerpt from Genesis, Vol. 1 of 2: Critically and Exegetically Expounded
The chief external feature of the translation, as com pared with the original, is the more readable form in which it appears. Contractions have largely been dispensed with, except in the case of the numerous references to periodicals, the use of footnotes has greatly relieved the text, and the division into paragraphs makes reference easier. These changes of form have in some cases made slight trans positions of the text advisable (e.g. Vol. Ii. P. 14, lines 4 - 7 occur further down in the German text). Where misprints, principally of figures, have been detected, they are in general silently corrected (but see, e.g., vol. Ii. P. 13, note Dillmann's references are generally to the German translations of English and French works. In these cases, so far as possible, references to the originals have been added in square brackets, or have sometimes been directly substituted (frequently in the case of Robinson's Palestine). All other additions by the translator are in square brackets. On p. 22 ff. And on pp. 36, 37 of vol. I. There are, however, square brackets which have been retained from the German edition.

Excerpt from Genesis, Vol. 1 of 2: Critically and Exegetically Expounded
The name of August Dillmann (1823-1894)and the value of his work have long been familiar to English students of Old Testament Literature. A translator of his Commentary on Genesis has therefore only to speak of the editions of the original, and of any features of the translation which require remark. The edition (1892) from which the present translation is made is generally quoted as the sixth. It is, however, only the fourth from Dillmann's own hand. His first edition was a revision of a commentary by August Knobel, which had already passed through two editions. What still remains of this original is indicated in the text by quotation marks, with or without mention of Knobel's name.
The present translation is in two volumes, for the whole of which the writer of the Preface is finally responsible; but the general form of the first volume and nearly all the additional matter in it (in square brackets) is due to another hand.
