Anointing as a remedy in case of skin diseases is mentioned in Yer. Ma'as. 8h. ii. iiSn: Bab. Yoma. TTi; and Yer. Shab. xiv. 14c; but at the sjime time incantations were used, the person anointing the head with oil also pronouncing an incantation over the sore spots (lohi«/i 'al hii-iiiiikknli) riici as stated in the Epistle of .hinies, v. 14, and Mark, vi. 13 (compare Isii. i. (i; Ps. ci.'i. 18; Luke. x. 34). Men should not go out on the street perfumed (Ber. 43A); but women perfume themselves out (see.Iosephus, " B. J." iv. i). ^ 10).

as to the rea.sons for
anonymity, may be divided into the following three clas.ses: (1) Collectaneous works, such as the Midrashim, to which the editor, being a mere compiler, did not deem himself of sutlicient importance to attach his name; (2) ancient works the authors of which, cither becausi' of modesty (see preface of "Sefer ha-l.liiuuik ") or. what is more fre(|Uently the their
case, because of the negligence of a copyist, are not given; (3) modern works not .signed simply because their
authors express ideas or criticisms they are un-
