The Chronicler

This book is a translation of the second part of Martin Noth’s highly influential Uberlieferungsgeschichtliche Studien, which first appeared over 40 years ago. The first part of the same work was Noth’s more celebrated treatise on the Deuteronomic history, which also appeared in translation in JSOT’s supplement series in 1981. The appearance now of The Chronicler’s History fills an important gap in the range of material available to the English reader on the books of Chronicles, Ezra and Nehemiah. Anyone interested in tracing the history of study of Chronicles in the present century has to pay attention to Noth.Translated by H.G.M. Williamson, with an introduction.
