Peeters' website seems to show it as available but when trying to purchase the website fails to load properly. Amazon have it listed for December, so potentially it is not yet released. There is no cover image or table of contents yet which makes sense if a Dec or later release is likely

A philological commentary on the book of Ben Sira accompanied by a full translation of the Greek text in the Septuagint. Similar in content to the book of Proverbs, and though not canonical, but read and studied by the ancient Jewish community, as shown by a considerable quantity of fragments of its Hebrew original discovered in a storage room of a synagogue in Cairo and among the documents discovered in Qumran caves and the Judaean Desert. All these data as well as two ancient Syriac translations have been fully taken into account.
