(zz) The difference of the Style, of the Chrono∣logy, and of the History make it appear.] The first Book of Maccabees was written by an Hebrew, the second by a Greek; the second begins the Hi∣story a great deal higher than the first. One fol∣lows the Jewish Account, the other that of Alex∣andria, which begins Six Months after. Some Per∣sons attribute the first to Josephus, others to Philo, others to the Synagogue, and others to the Mac∣cabees. The Phrase of the first is Jewish; and St. Jerome tells us, he had the Hebrew Copy of it. It was Intituled, The Scepter of the Rebels a∣gainst the Lord, or rather, The Scepter of the Prince of the Children of God. The second was Written by Jason, as it is observed in the Preface. Huetius believes, that the third and fourth Chapter, as well as the two last, don't belong to Jason, be∣cause it is said in chap. 2. vers. 20. that he wrote down all that passed under Antiochus and Eupa∣tor, but then the remainder, which is the end and the beginning of that History, ought to be un∣derstood.
