Legends of the Patriarchs and Prophets and Other Old Testament Characters from Various Sources...

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

[Mark · Rating 5 out of 5]

Sabine Baring-Gould is a superb storyteller, one of the few truly spellbinding masters of language. Readers should take a look at his massive and varied resume to see for themselves. Legends of the Patriarchs and Prophets uses some of the 72 apocryphal books along with Islamic and Rabbinical sources to fully flesh out the narratives of the old testament. One of the best books written in the field of comparative mythology. The author does not shy away from including magic realism in his writing which is a breath of fresh air in today's soyence world.
