First published in 1567 in only “two books,” the 1580 edition is the first 
to contain the enlarged text of four books. Genebrard (1537-1597) became 
professor of Hebrew at the Sorbonne. The final part of this sacred chronology of 
world history is the author’s translation from the Hebrew of “Seder ‘Olam.” See 
Adams G397 (another issue). Also Alden-Landis, EUROPEAN AMERICANA I: 580/33.
