Book Description

Excerpt from Biblical Archaeology Translation, of which a second edition is now offered to the public, was undertaken at the suggestion and desire of Professor Stuart of the Theological Seminary at Andover; and was first published at that place in February of 1823. For the encouragement and aid, which Professor Stuart afforded him in this undertaking, and for the assistance, which he received in various ways from other gentlemen of the Theological Seminary, with which the Translator was at that time connected as an assistant instructor, he embraces this opportunity to repeat his grateful acknowledgments. The author of the original work is Dr. John Jahn, who was formerly Professor of Oriental Languages in the University of Vienna. It was first written in. the German Language, and ex tended through five octavo volumes. Being of such extent, and accompanied with numerous plates, it was found too expensive for common use, and after numerous solicitations to that effect, was abridged by the author himself, translated into Latin, and printed in a single octavo volume. The Translation into English, which is now presented to the public, is made from the second edition of the Latin Abridgment, printed at Vienna in 1814.
