This is Moses Gaster's translation of the
Chronicles of Jerahmeel.
The book is a collection of extended Biblical events,
mixed with Roman history, lists of geographical names,
and Patriarchial genealogies.
Gaster believed that the Chronicles were compiled from
Hebrew sources, both ancient and medieval.
The text runs from the void before Creation,
through the Deuterocanonical Apocrypha.
This book abounds with astounding folklore.--, Dec. 30th, 2009.
