The Three Additions to Daniel: A Study

William Heaford Daubney was an English Anglican clergyman and student of the Apocrypha. He won the Jeremie Prize at Cambridge in 1873 and served as vicar of Harlington, Bedfordshire, and rector of Leasingham, Lincolnshire. His earlier book, The Use of the Apocrypha in the Christian Church, prepared the way for The Three Additions to Daniel: A Study (1906) — the work in our library — an examination of Susanna, Bel and the Dragon, and the Song of the Three Children.

About this book

W. H. Daubney's study, published in 1906, of the three additions to Daniel found in the Greek Bible and the Apocrypha: the Prayer of Azariah with the Song of the Three Children, Susanna, and Bel and the Dragon. Daubney examines their contents, language, and place in Jewish and Christian tradition. A focused piece of scholarship on a little-studied corner of the biblical world.
