Specialist Notes
First edition of Scaliger's most important work . De Emendatione Temporum revolutionized ancient chronology; it showed that ancient history was not limited to that of the Greeks and Romans, but also to that of the Persians, Babylonians, and Egyptians, and to that of the Jews, until then treated as “sacred history,” a separate subject... Scaliger's achievements in 'A Correct System of Chronology' surpass those of his contemporaries: it is difficult today to imagine how history could be written without an adequate and continuous chronology, based on Scaliger's synchronistic principles” (PMM). Includes Annotationes in computum æthiopum , pp. 338-349.
