The Book of Jubilees, also known as The Little Genesis, is a religious text written by Robert Henry Charles. It is a retelling of the book of Genesis, but with additional details and stories that were not included in the original text. The Book of Jubilees is believed to have been written in the second century BCE, and it was likely used by the Essenes, a Jewish sect that lived in the area around the Dead Sea. The book is divided into 50 chapters, each of which covers a different period of time in the history of the world. It begins with the creation of the world and the first humans, Adam and Eve, and continues through the stories of Noah and Abraham. The book also includes information on the laws and customs of the Jewish people, as well as a calendar that was used during the time period in which the book was written. The Book of Jubilees is considered an important text for scholars of Judaism and early Christianity, as it provides insight into the beliefs and practices of the Jewish people during the Second Temple period. It is also of interest to those studying the history of the Bible and the development of religious texts.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
