To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Success attended their under- takings, which were conducted with equal enterprise and discretion. For a time, Mattathias and his followers carried on a kind of guerilla warfare, which the nature of the country and the good-will of the people greatly narrative may not be altogether destitute of foundation, as it is in a degree confirmed by a work of some authority which forms part of the first volume of the Bcth-ha-Midrash, a collection of miscellaneous pieces of ancient Hebrew literature, latel...y published by A. Jellineck, of Leipsig, some of which have never before been printed. The most interesting of the pieces thus for the first time, brought to press is the Mid. Hhauukn, copied from an ancient and very scarce Codex, in the possession of the City Senatorial Library, at Leipsig. It contains many cui-ious and im- portant particulars relating to the wars of the Maccabees, and explains many circumstances not sufficiently clear in the Apocrypha and Josephus. From the narrative of these two authorities it departs, in so far as it ascribes the first rising of Mattathias and his sons, not merely to the indignation the old man felt at the sight of an apostate ofi"cring to idols, but to an outrage off"ered to a young virgin, betrothed to one of the song of Mattathias ; that Hannah, the daugthcr of Jochanon, a most beautiful maiden, was about being married to Eleazar, a son of Mattathias ; when on their wedding-day (the 17th of the Gth month, Elul) a SjTO-Grecian officer attempted to violate her person, but was prevented by Eleazar, the bridegroom, who cut him down on the spot ; and that this was the first act of resistance that inaugurated the long war — a circumstance which shows to what extent of outrage and oppression the Syro-Grecian do- minion in Judea was carried, and the more to be noticed as neither the Apocrypha nor Josephus speak of any suck indignities as offered to the Jews.
