A substantial bundle of Latin notes on the beliefs and religious practices of various pre-Christian societies. Newton attempts to show that various supposedly mythical figures in Egyptian, Greek, Chaldean and other literatures can be equated with what he considers historical Old Testament characters such as Noah and his sons.
