The Book of Jubilees, an ancient text which details the history of the division of the Laws of Moses, is presented here complete.

The text discusses the laws revealed to Moses and treats his character as a second creator of the world. Each chapter covers a range of history spanning 49 years, with Moses life story and other principal events told over a course of 2,410 years.

Perhaps most importantly from a theological perspective, the book discusses the angels and how these entities formed a vital component of the Earth's creation. Enoch was taught by fallen angels; through them, he discovered writing and history. We also hear that early man was formed from a mating of Earthly humans and fallen angels, but that these hybrids were killed during the Great Flood.

August Dillmann (1823-1894) was born at Illingen, Wurttemberg, and educated at the University of Tubingen, where he was a student of Heinrich Ewald. He produced catalogs of Ethiopic manuscripts and an edition of the Bible in Ethiopic, Lexicon linguæ aethiopicæ (1865), and Chrestomathia aethiopica (1866). He taught at the universities of Tubingen, Kiel, Giessen, and Berlin. In 1875-1876 Dillmann was the Rektor of the University of Berlin, and in 1881 he was the President of the International Congress of Orientalists.
