The Book of Ben Sira, written in Hebrew about 180 BCE and translated into Greek about 120 BCE, plays an important role in the debate about the date and the final form (»canon«) of the Hebrew Bible. For in the introduction to the Greek translation (Prologos) three times a reference is found to »the Law, the Prophets, and the other traditional/remaining books«. Many biblical scholars, both in past and present, consider this threefold mention to be the first reference in history to the tripartite canon of the Hebrew Bible. In a thorough examination of all available data, Brodersen in this revised Habilitationsschrift (Ludwig Maximilian University, Munich 2022) aims to answer one main question: »Does the Book of Ben Sira really refer to a biblical canon?« (34)
