added the brief chapter headings in Douay-Rheims Bible
Wisdom is a text of unknown authorship, which has sometimes been attributed to [[Solomon]]. As its name suggests, the book deals with the subject of wisdom, containing advice for the reader and praising wisdom itself. Although the Book of Wisdom is not regarded as canonical by [[Protestantism|Protestants]], it has had an undeniable influence on Christian tradition and [[philosophy]]. For example, the four cardinal [[virtue]]s originate from chapter 8 of the book.
