Title translates to “Essay on the History of Geography in Palestine After the Talmud and Other Rabbinic Sources. ” Joseph Derenburg (1811 – 1895) was a Franco-German orientalist who was born in French-controlled Mainz. He played a large part in the revival of Jewish education in France. Though much of his work focused on Saadia, this essay is his most important work. It is an original contribution to the history of the Jews and Judaism in the time of Christ, and has been much used by many later historians of the subject. SUBJECTS: Jews -- History -- 586 B.
