Seder ʿOlam zutaʾ
ancient Jewish chronology
Quick Summary
Seder \u02bfolam zu\u1e6da\u02be is a smaller work that complements Seder \u02bfolam rabba\u02be, an ancient Jewish chronology attributed to Rabbi Yosi ben Halafta in the 2nd century CE. While Seder \u02bfolam rabba\u02be covers history from creation to the time of Bar Kokhba, Seder \u02bfolam zu\u1e6da\u02be specifically aims to demonstrate that the Babylonian exilarchs were direct descendants of King David. These works are significant for understanding early Jewish historical calculations and traditions.1
