Isaac Newton (1642-1727) is best known for his natural philosophical and mathematical works. This volume provides the first analysis of the genesis and evolution of Newton’s studies of ancient history and demonstrates how these emerged from that other major scholarly project of his, the interpretation of the apocalyptic prophecies in Scripture.
