The Book of Jubilees: Facing Greek and Latin – English Text
Libro 4 en Early Jewish Writings
This is a parallel facing edition of The Book of Jubilees. Jubilees is paradigmatic for rewritten scripture (Rewritten Bible). It covers Genesis 1 – Exodus 24, putting itself on par with scripture and aimed to supplement and explain it with interpretive paraphrase. It advocates for a solar calendar, focusses on halakha, and reflects an interest in intermediary angels and the demon Mastema.
This book is part of a unique series that contains early Jewish writings in ancient languages alongside English translations on facing pages. This series is designed as a useful cost-efficient tool for students, scholars, and lay persons interested in studying early Jewish writings. These works are important since they were considered authoritative by many early Jewish and Christian communities. Furthermore, they are saturated with examples of early Jewish biblical interpretation and correct false assumptions about early Judaism. Finally for Christians they are important since the New Testament quotes and alludes to these works.
Other features include:
- Introduction to this book and early Jewish literature
- Paradigm charts of noun and verbs
- Wide margins
