Abstract
The chapter focuses on a period in Charles’s career when he received increasing academic honors and wrote some of his most important books. In the former category, it deals with his becoming a Fellow of the British Academy in 1906 and traces the various roles that he played as a Fellow, including his two terms as a member of the Council, and his being awarded the first British Academy Medal for Biblical Studies. It also describes his Grinfield Lectures on the Septuagint (on Daniel). There is, moreover, coverage of his reception of a D. Litt. Degree from the University of Oxford. The bulk of the chapter studies the Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs, the history of scholarship on it that began already with Robert Grosseteste, Charles’s articles about it and a newly found Aramaic text related to part of it, and Charles’s translation/commentary on the Testaments and his critical edition of the Greek text. The coverage includes his conclusions about the date of the work, its original language, its textual history and growth, and the main ideas in it. The chapter concludes with consideration of the reviews of Charles’s books and their ongoing importance in modern study of the Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs.
