Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the historical evolution and interrelationships of various ancient measurement systems, specifically focusing on those of the Greeks, Romans, and Israelites, and drawing comparisons with those of the Egyptians. The author begins by establishing a common ground of understanding by discussing the different types of measurements and their general principles. He then meticulously examines the Attic measures, presenting a compelling case for the equality of their cubit to that of the English. Moving on to the Roman system, the author highlights the influence of the Attic measures on its development, while also delving into the complex relationship between the Roman pound and the weights and coins of the time. The author then turns his attention to the Jewish measures, skillfully comparing them with their Greek and Roman counterparts and analyzing the rabbinical interpretations of their values. The book concludes with a fascinating discussion of the significance of a palm pound, which the author posits as the basis for the Hebrew half maneh. This insightful exploration of ancient measurement systems sheds light on the interconnectedness of ancient civilizations and the evolution of scientific thought, making it an invaluable resource for historians, numismatists, and anyone interested in understanding the foundations of measurement and the history of science.
