1597 2nd Edition
DANIEL HIS CHALDIE VISIONS
and his Ebrew: both translated after the originall: and expounded both, by reduction of heathen most famous stories unto the exact proprietie of his wordes (which is the surest certaintie what he must meane:) and by ioyning all the Bible, and learned tongues to the frame of his worke.
By Hugh Broughton
Author Bio: Hugh Broughton (1549–1612) was an English Protestant biblical scholar known for his exceptional command of Hebrew and other biblical languages and for his sharp polemical writing. Educated at Cambridge, he produced translations and learned commentaries—especially on prophecy such as Daniel—arguing that correct doctrine depended on close reading of Scripture in the original tongues. Often in conflict with church authorities and rivals, he spent periods abroad and remained an influential, if combative, voice in late Elizabethan and Jacobean religious scholarship.
Synopsis: Daniel his Chaldie Visions and his Ebrew is a polemical, scholarly Protestant treatise in which Hugh Broughton expounds the Book of Daniel—especially its “Chaldee” (Aramaic) sections—alongside Hebrew material to argue for what he presents as the correct reading of biblical prophecy.
In practice, it’s a mix of:
close linguistic commentary (Hebrew/Aramaic and translation issues),
prophetic interpretation (Daniel’s visions of empires and the “end times”), and
religious controversy, using Daniel’s prophecy to defend his understanding of “true” Christianity and to rebut rival interpretations (including Roman Catholic readings and other opponents).
A learned work intended for clergy and educated readers, typical of late-16th-century England where Scripture, languages, and church politics are braided into arguments about authority, history, and salvation.
