Synopsis
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Présentation de l'éditeur
The Crowning Point of the Period War with Antiochus Sidetes Siege of Jerusaleni Treaty of Peace The Parthian War Hyrcanus joins Antiochus Successful campaigns of Hyrcanus against theS amaritans and Idumaeans The Idumaeans forced to embrace Judaism Destruction of theS amaritan Temple at Gerizim and of the Capital, Samaria Internal Affairs The Parties :P harisees, Sadducees andE ssenes, their Rise and Constitution Their Doctrines and their Relations to one another The Synhedrion Strained Relations between Hyrcanus and the Pharisees Death of Hyrcanus. 13s 106 B. C. The reign of Hyrcanus is at once the pinnacle and the turning-point of this period. He not only carried on his fathers work, but completed it. Under his predecessors Judaea was confined to a narrow space, and even within these bounds there were territories in the possession of foreign foes. Hyrcanus enlarged the boundaries to the north and to the south, and thus released theS tate rom the external pressure that had been restrictingits growth. His genius for war was aided by fortunate circumstances in bringing about these happy results. If the reign of Hyrcanus corresponds in brilliancy to that of Solomon, it resembles it also in another respect: both reigns commenced and ended amid disturbance, sadness and gloom, while the middle of each reign was happy and prosperous.
