Description:
1696 Marsham Chronicus Canon Jewish & Egyptian RITES Hebrew Greek LatinJohn Marsham was a 17th-century English historian known for his expertise and study on chronology – from Old Testament history to Egypt and British. His most detailed and elaborate work was 'Chronicus Canon'; a work which distinguished Hebrew, Greek, and Egyptian histories and how they pertained to the Old Testament. According to the NGBD, Marsham, in this work,
"was the first person who proposed to the learned world the hypothesis of four collateral dynasties of Egyptian kings, reigning at the same time over different districts of that country; in order to reduce the extravagant chronology of the Egyptian records to a conformity with that of the Hebrew Scriptures. He also supposes that the Jews derived several of their rites from the Egyptians"
