xvii, 49 pp. The story of Judith, reprinted from the revised version of the Apocrypha with an introduction, featuring a tipped in color frontispiece entitled Judith Adorns Herself, and another tipped in color plate entitled Judith Before Holofernes, by W. Russell Flint. The Book of Judith is a deuterocanonical book, included in the Septuagint and the Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Christian Old Testament of the Bible, but excluded by Jews and assigned by Protestants to the Apocrypha. The book contains numerous historical anachronisms, which is why many scholars now accept it as non-historical; it has been considered a parable or perhaps the first historical novel. The name Judith is the feminine form of Judah.
