Meer over het boek

The work presents a retelling of the Hebrew Bible, covering events from Genesis to the end of 1 Samuel, and chronicles Biblical history from Adam through to Saul. Although attributed to the Jewish writer Philo Judaeus, scholars suggest it was likely authored by someone else, known as 'Pseudo-Philo.' The text offers a unique interpretation of familiar Biblical narratives, providing insight into early Jewish thought and historical context.
