About This Book

The volume presents an introduction and annotated text that examines the character and methods of ancient historiography, contrasts modern and ancient historical aims, and considers authorship, date, sources, and the Chronicler’s purpose. It assesses both the historical and religious value of the narrative, discusses textual transmission and versions, and surveys relevant literature. Detailed notes and maps supply geographical and critical context. A substantial section analyzes the genealogical material, noting the unequal treatment of tribal lineages and the framework the compiler uses, while indices and apparatus support further study.
