8 For the origin of the name Judaism, see Esther VIII, 17. Compare
_Yahduth_, Esther Rabbah III, 7; II Macc. II, 21; VIII, 1, 14, 38;
Graetz: _G. d. J._, II, 174 f.; Jost: _G.d. Jud._, I, 1-12; _J. E._,
art. Judaism. Regarding the unfairness of Christian authors in their
estimate of Judaism, see Schechter, l. c., 232-251; M. Schreiner:
_D. juengst. Urtheile u. d. Judenthum_, p. 48-58. Dubnow, Asher
Ginsberg and the rest of the nationalists underrate the religious
power of the Jew's soul, which forms the essence of his character
and the motive power of all his aspirations and hopes, as well as of
all his achievements in history.

15 See J. E., art. Jubilees, Book of. Very instructive in this
connection is a comparative study of the Falashas, the Samaritans,
especially the Dosithean sect, and the still problematical sect
discovered through the document found by Schechter, edited by him
under the title _Fragments of a Zadokite Sect_.
