Description		    Doctoral dissertation on chapter 19 verses 24-27 of the Book of Daniel. Named on the title page are the rector Magnificentissimmo, Guiliemo Henrico; the Duke of Saxony, Ioh. Reinhard; and Publice defendet Auto et Rspondens Sam. Theod. Schoenwald. The text is in Latin with occasional Hebrew. There are head and tail-pieces and the initial letter is historiated. LXX Hebdomadibus Danielis deals with the prophecy in Daniel in the verses “24. Seventy weeks are decreed upon your people and upon your holy city, to finish the transgression, and to put an end to sin, and to atone for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most holy place. 25. Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the command to restore and to build Jerusalem until the coming of an anointed prince shall be seven weeks; then for sixty two weeks it shall be built again, with squares and moat, but in a troubled time. 26. And after sixty two weeks shall an anointed one be cut off, and nothing will be left to him; and the people of a prince who shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and its end shall be with a flood, and to the end of the war desolations are decreed. 27. And he shall make a strong covenant with many for one week; and for half of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the offering to cease, and upon the wing of abominations shall come one who makes desolate, until the decreed destruction is poured out on the desolator.” These verses are of great importance to Christian commentators who go to great pains to refute the Jewish explanations and to substitute their own interpretations, in support of their religion.
