Description:	The interpretation of Sir. 50:1–28 at the end of the wisdom book known as Jesus Sirach or Ecclesiasticus has been the subject of scholarly dispute since the discovery of the Hebrew manuscripts in 1896. The historical value of the identity of Simon the High Priest is at issue here. Is he to be identified with Simon, the Righteous, referred to in the Talmudic tractate Pirke Abot? Besides Josephus’ Antiquitates Judaicae, Sir. 50:1–28 constitutes the most important source of information on this enigmatic figure.1
