The book covers biblical history from the creation down to Jasher's own day and was represented as the Lost Book of Jasher mentioned in the Bible. The provenance of the text was immediately suspect: the eighth-century cleric Alcuin could not have produced a translation in the English of the King James Bible.

**NOTE** While I do not ascribe any authority or accuracy to these ancient writings and consider them to be uninspired, I believe it still has merit by giving insight into the non-canonical thinking of that era and offers some historical context.
