Seder Olam is the basic text on which all historical understanding
of Jewish tradition in the Talmud is based. This book is a
translation with commentary of this classical text, making Seder
Olam: The Rabbinic View of Biblical Chronology available to the
English speaking public for the first time. The extensive
commentary, by highly regarded scholar Heinrich W. Guggenheimer,
explains the detailed arguments that derive a complete and
consistent chronology from biblical anecdotal remarks. The text
also addresses a number of secondary topics, such as the status of
the book of Daniel and negating the value of Daniel for messianic
predictions. The commentary shows that in its present form, Seder
Olam is a product of the early Babylonian talmudic academics,
edited in the first half of the third century C.E. Since some part
of the Seder Olam deals with calendar problems, Dr. Guggenheimer
offers an appendix that gives complete instruction for the
computation of the Jewish calendar and the conversion of Jewish
into civil dates and vice-versa.
