It should be further noted that the only Davidson mentioned in Rudolpf Smend's collection is that of Professor Samuel Davidson, to whom 2 letters were addressed. Death Davidson died at home, Corrennie Gardens in Edinburgh on 26 January 1902. He is buried in Grange Cemetery on the south side of the city. The grave lies on the southern edge of the north-west quadrant, backing onto the embankment over the central vaults. Works Davidson's Elementary Hebrew Grammar is still in print, having now reached its 27th edition (published in 1993, revised by James Martin). His Hebrew Syntax is also still in print, having now reached its fourth edition (published in 1994, revised by J.C.L. Gibson). These works were recognised by several honorary distinctions, LL.D. (Aberdeen), D.D. (Edinburgh), Litt.D. (Cambridge). Davidson contributed to the Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges, submitting commentaries on Job, Ezekiel, Nahum, Habakkuk, and Zephaniah. He also wrote, in the series of handbooks published by T&T Clark, a commentary on the Epistle to the Hebrews (1882); and he furnished many articles for Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible, among them "Covenant", "Eschatology of the Old Testament", "God" and "Prophecy". His posthumously published writings include two volumes of sermons entitled Waiting Upon God and The Called of God, a volume of essays entitled Biblical and Literary Essays, and Old Testament Prophecy. These works have been edited by J. A. Paterson. Another posthumous volume, entitled The Theology of the Old Testament, was edited by S. D. F. Salmond. Controversies Following the publication of a list of Davidson's writings a dispute broke out between its compiler, James Strachan, and James Alexander Paterson who had edited some of Davidson's manuscripts for posthumous publication. On quality of the editing, in his biography Strachan noted that, "no lecture of Professor Davidson's was finer than the one on 'False Prophecy'. It was ultimately published in the Expositor in 1895. But in the posthumous Old Testament Prophecy an ancient and inferior manuscript has again been palmed off upon the innocent reader, while the perfect Expositor article is left in obscurity." This view was supported by George Wishart Anderson. Another dispute concerned the order of the lectures that Davidson had given. Strachan wrote that "Dr Davidson was above everything else a lecturer on Hebrew prophecy. He gave his students a new and inspiring conception of the real nature of Prophecy and its function in the history of Revelation.
