To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He had drawn largely upon the chronography of Sextus lulius Africanus, completing the whole by the aid of Manetho, losephus, and other historians. This was the famous chronicle which he continued down to his own time. The book was widely read and was accepted as necessarily accurate. In course of time, after the death of Eusebius, St. Jerome trans- lated the Chronicle into Latin, continuing it to 378 a.d.
For some centuries, the Christian scribes preserved it as an essential part of the works o...f St. Jerome, although they had no idea of its unusual value. When the Renaissance was well under way, neither the men of elegant letters, nor the Protestant controversialists, knew what to make of it, and at last it was omitted from their editions of St.
Jerome's works as being without value. Even the great Erasmus, though he edited the other writings of Jerome, did not think it worth his while to include this Chronicle, and in fact, it was not replaced in the series of his works until 1734.^ It was left for Scaliger to appreciate the inestimable value of this document, which contains all that we know of a great deal of pre-classical history, carrying us back to the oriental countries as well as to Greece and Rome.
