Synopsis

On Three Books Purporting To Be The Book Of Jasher is a paper written by John Birkbeck Nevins in 1885. The paper was read before the Literary and Philosophical Society of Liverpool on March 9th, 1885. The book discusses three different books that claim to be the Book of Jasher. The Book of Jasher is an ancient Hebrew text that is mentioned in the Bible. The three books that Nevins discusses are The Book of Jasher, Referred to in Joshua and Second Samuel; The Book of Jasher, Referred to in First Kings; and The Book of Jasher, Referred to in Second Timothy. Nevins examines the authenticity of each of these books and discusses their history and their claims to be the actual Book of Jasher. The paper is a scholarly examination of the subject and provides a thorough analysis of each of the books. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the Book of Jasher and its place in Hebrew literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
