Book
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. This is the first volume of what was intended to be a four-volume encyclopedia in graphic form, with the four volumes covering the Biblical period, the Talmudic period, the Middle Ages, and Modern times. Listings of this title for sale give no indication that the other volumes were ever published. The author described his intent as follows: "Why couldn't the graphic method and formula used to illustrate scientific data be adapted to the field of Jewish literature? I began to envisage an attractive, lucid format which would present essential information in a minimum of time and space. It would be ideal for use by students, scholars and the general public. And so I set about drafting a series of outlines of the first charts for the Bible, the Talmud and subsequent Jewish literature." This first volume on the Biblical period utilizes a series of fold-out charts and brief paragraph descriptions to illustrate the important points of the Bible. There are separate fold-out charts for the Bible (Tanakh), the Pentateuch (Torah), the Prophetic Books, Hagiographa (Scriptures), the Fifteen Judges, the Forty-Three Kings of Judah and Israel, the Forty-Eight Prophets and the Seven Prophetesses, and the Twenty-Five High Priests of the First Temple Period. There are also three genealogical tables of the generations from Adam to Moses; Chronological Tables from the Creation to the division of the Kingdoms of Judah and Israel; and "Synchronical Tables" (tables showing different Biblical features and historical facts synchronized in columns). Also has an overview chart in pocket inside front cover, with original publicity info. An interesting way of presenting information about the Bible. 8½ x 11 inches, 224 pages. In very good condition; no dust jacket with this copy, although a later edition in 1983 seems to have had a dust jacket.
Hardcover. Condition: Good. Signs of wear/scuffs/MAJOR damage on dust jacket, board corners/edges, & lower/upper bind but book is in good condition. Text is clean.
