Synopsis
If you enjoy history, then you're going to love this fascinating survey of ancient world history! James Ussher's Annals of the World is a historical chronology of the ancient world from the beginning-of-time to 70 A.D.. With precise accuracy, Ussher gives us the true accounts of the people and events that shaped the world and contributed to the rise and fall of nations and ancient civilizations.
Those who don't learn from the lessons of history, are destined to repeat it. James Ussher's Annals of the World is a treasure trove of information and historical take-aways. More than just a book of history, this masterpiece is a work of history.
A literary classic restored. Originally published in Latin in 1650, this literary classic is a virtual historical encyclopedia of the ancient world that offers an unparalleled academic chronology of both sacred and secular history with information and footnotes that might have been lost forever. In 2003, it was given a complete scholarly review for accuracy, translated into English and published for the modern reader.
One of history's most famous and well-respected historians. James Ussher devoted himself wholly to the defense of the Christian faith. This highly educated and well-traveled historian devoted several years to writing this monumental history of the ancient world.

About the Author
James Ussher was born in Dublin, Ireland, in 1581. He entered Trinity College at age 13 and graduated with a B.A. at age 15. He received his master's at 18 and was appointed proctor of the college. He was ordained a deacon and priest at age 20 in the Anglican church. He became Professor of Divinity at Dublin at age 26. An expert in Semitic languages, he was appointed to King James's Privy Council in Ireland in 1628. He wrote much literature, of which his Annals remains the most famous. When he died in 1656, Oliver Cromwell held a magnificent state funeral for him and had him buried in Westminster Abbey. Cromwell took great pains to make sure the writings and library of Ussher were preserved.
