Excerpt from Astronomy in the Old Testament

The author of this book is the Director of the Brera Observatory in Milan, and his great reputation as an astronomer causes special interest to attach to his views on Biblical astronomy. He has been kind enough to revise his work throughout for the purpose of the English translation, and also to criticize and amend the translation itself.

The translator, who has undertaken the work at the request of the Delegates of the Clarendon Press, has to express his great obligations to the Rev. Dr. Driver, Regius Professor of Hebrew in the University of Oxford, and to Mr. A. E. Cowley, Sub-Librarian of the Bodleian Library and Fellow of Magdalen College. Both these gentlemen have read the translation and made important corrections; and, while they cannot be held responsible in all cases for the form which it has finally taken, any claims to accuracy which it may possess are due to their assistance.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work.

We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself.
