[continued] Hugh of Saint-Victor’s ‘Chronicle’ (De tribus maximis circumstantis gestorum): Creation & Restoration (Septuagint chronology)
Unedited.
The first two columns list names and reign-lengths; after four
lines it is stated Quinta etas dlxxxvi annos continens (‘The
Fifth Age consists of 586 years’), followed in the next line by Iesus Christus natus est (‘Jesus Christ was born’), five more names
(beginning with Herod and ending with Agrippa), and finis regnum
Iudeorum (‘the end of the kingdom of the Jews’).
The top part of the right
half of the page is a passage explaining the inclusion of the alternative chronology
according to the Septuagint.
The remainder of the first and second columns, spilling
into the third, are a listing of descendants of Adam as far as Noah, and then
descendants of the three sons of Noah.
