[Redbook8:71][19901028:1006]{The Secondary Historian}[28th October 1990]
19901028.1006
‘To make the subject his own, to explore its by-ways, to be meticulous about details, is the business of the original historian, but the person making the adaptation must be allowed to aim at conciseness of expression and to forgo any exhaustive treatment of his subject.’
– 2 M[accabees] 2:30-31*
*[from the Compiler’s Preface][New Jerusalem Bible]
