Description:
1725 Jewish History Calmet JEWS + Bible Commentary Holy Land MAPS JerusalemAntoine Augustin Calmet was a 17th-century French Benedictine monk who is most remembered today for his commentary and notes on the Bible. This commentary was highly regarded, not just by Catholics but by Protestants as well. Calmet's commentary created new ways of biblical interpretation, new methods of exegesis, and individual prefaces to each book. Interestingly, he vehemently avoided using metaphysical and mystical interpretations of scripture.
This commentary was the foundation for many of his other works, including his 'History of Jews in the Old and New Testament'. This 1725 edition includes an introductory history of the church by Abby Fleury, along with seven impressive folding maps and plans:
·
Map of Ancient World
·
Map of "Earthly Paradise" or "The Promised Land"
·
Map of Israelite's journey
·
Solomon's Temple
·
New Plan of Old Jerusalem
