Description
Item Description:Preface signed: M. M. Noah. - A translation of the rabbinical Book of Yashar compiled from the Babylonian Talmud and other Jewish sources, and intermixed with Arabic legends and passages of the Bible. Three fourths of the book is devoted to the pre-Mosaic period, one fifth to the Mosaic period and only three pages to later history. The original ed. appeared in Naples, 1552, with title: Dissertatio de Libro recti. In 1750 the London printer Thomas Ilive issued an English translation of the work, asserting that he had published the real "Book of Yashar" mentioned in the Bible
