Chronicles of Jerahmeel

The Chronicles of Jerahmeel is a Hebrew collection of Jewish history texts covering a period of time between the creation of the earth and the death of Judas Maccabeus in 160 BCE. The primary author Jerahmeel or Yeraḥme’el ben Solomon is believed to have lived in 12th century in Southern Italy. It is a composite text or an anthology that contains in part the historiographical Yosippon. A later compiler Eleazar ben Asher ha-Levi assembled it around 1325.
