A dissertation on the true age of the world : $b in which is determined the chronology of the period from creation to the Christian era
Wallace, R. (Robert)
Bible; Chronology; Chronology, Historical
5. Table VI. Containing the statements of the chronographers
relating to the _Fifth age_ of the world—The errors of Josephus
peculiar—His elongation of the reign of Solomon—Disagreement of
his titulary periods with the summation of the reigns in Books
Eighth, Ninth, and Tenth—Proof that the former is nearly
correct—Table VII. _Monarchal Periods_ of Josephus—Comparison
with the True Chronology—Evidence that these periods have been
manufactured—The true Chronology of this age detected in his
works—Table VIII. _True Flavian Periods_, showing the
Scriptural extent as originally held by Josephus—Proof that he
knew the true epoch of the Captivity—The errors of Theophilus
in this age few—He is also mistaken as to the epoch of the
Captivity—Africanus diminishes the true extent of this age—He
is misrepresented by Syncellus—The statements of Eusebius taken
from the Hieronymian and Armenian versions of his Canon—Those
of the author of the Paschal Chronicle from that work
itself—Their errors pointed out—The difference between their
Extent of this age and the true Extent only 3 years.
The following Table which exhibits the statements of the Chronographers
regarding the _Fifth age_ of the World, should be compared with Table
XII. in our _First Part_; as it contains the _Monarchal Eras_ and
_Intervals_ according to each chronographer.
