The paper under review is a continuation of Part I [Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 353, No. 10, 4235-4260 (2001; see the preceding review Zbl 1019.16019)]. The authors study Lie derivations arising from associative algebras. Suppose that \(D\) is a prime associative algebra with involution and \(L\) the Lie algebra of the skew elements, and consider \(L'/(L'\cap Z)\) where \(Z\) is the centre of \(L\). The authors obtain a description of the Lie derivations of the latter quotient algebra. In the case when \(D\) is simple they describe all derivations of this quotient. The main results are obtained via reduction to the case of Lie homomorphisms (already resolved in the paper cited above). Thus they answer a problem of \textit{I. N. Herstein} [Bull. Am. Math. Soc. 67, 517-531 (1961; Zbl 0107.02704)]. (Also submitted to MR).
