By:

The First Book of the Machabees is a history of the struggle of the Jewish people for religious and political liberty under the leadership of the Machabee family, with Judas Machabeus as the central figure. After a brief introduction explaining how the Jews came to pass from the Persian domination to that of the Seleucids, it relates the causes of the rising under Mathathias and the details of the revolt up to his death ; the glorious deeds and heroic death of Judas Machabeus ; the story of the successful leadership of Jonathan , and of the wise administration of Simon . It concludes with a brief mention of the difficulties attending the accession of John Hyrcanus and with a short summary of his reign. The book thus covers the period between the years 175 and 135 B.C. . The Books of Machabees. In The Catholic Encyclopedia. New York: Robert Appleton Company.)
