Volney Produced by Chuck Greif and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at DP Europe (http://dp.rastko.net); produced from images of the Bibliothèque nationale de France (BNF/Gallica) at http://gallica.bnf.fr "Recherches nouvelles sur l'histoire ancienne, tome I" by C.-F. Volney is a historical account written in the early 19th century. The work delves into the complexities of ancient history, particularly focusing on the Jewish chronology and the interpretation of historical texts. The author aims to critically analyze the sources and methods used by previous historians to shed light on the ancient past. The opening of the book sets the stage for a thorough critique of the established historical narratives surrounding the ancient world. Volney questions the reliability of accounts that have been passed down and addresses the challenges historians face when working with fragmented and often contradictory historical records. He argues for a more empirical approach, calling for the application of new methodologies similar to those used in the physical sciences to understand the complexities of ancient histories, particularly concerning the chronology of Israelite kings as drawn from biblical sources. This analytical approach raises important questions about biases and the transmission of historical knowledge, preparing the reader for a deeper exploration of the subject.
