The Exilarchs, professed scions of the biblical Davidic royal line, were leaders of the Jews of Babylonia in antiquity. They were said to be powerful political figures and to lead a decadent lifestyle. Their princely trappings and high-handed manner were legend. They were reported to be completely assimilated into Persian culture. Geoffrey Herman examines the evidence, culled mainly from the Talmudic and Geonic literature, subjecting the institution of the Exilarchate to literary-historical and source-critical analysis. In addition, Herman innovatively utilizes comparative sources from the fields of Iranian studies and Persian Christianity to find the truth underlying the accounts of the historical Exilarchs.

Exilarch written by Moshe A. Shaltiel and has been published by iUniverse this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2002-07-28 with Fiction categories.

Exilarch is an action-packed novel brimming with the kind of dramatic plot twists and romantic escapades that appeal to readers hungry for the good old-fashioned, historically authentic plots popularized by such authors as James Michener, Howard Fast, Leon Uris, and Herman Wouk. Shaltiel blows the dust off ancient times and infuses them with a living vitality; his knack for telling a good story is reminiscent of Robert Graves’s irreverent and intimate best-seller , Claudius. Both a swashbuckler and a romance, Exilarch teems with characters that will intrigue readers of both sexes and all ages. The plot: in an unadorned ceramic jar, a college student finds an ancient diary—older than the Dead Sea Scrolls by several hundred years—that irrefutably links him to King David. The author of the priceless manuscript is the mysterious Prince Dara, adoptive son of Cyrus the Great and heir to the last King of Judah; the student is the estranged son of an eminent Harvard historian with a dark past, and grandson of a legendary Israeli hero who defended the City of David from her modern enemies. Here’s a story with all the elements to entice the most jaded reader: a quest for identity; an archeological discovery; the tangled destinies of kings and princes, fathers and sons; and love lost and rekindled. While presented as fiction, Exilarch is based on a hard core of surprising fact. Author Shaltiel’s pursuit of his own ancestry, via not only traditional sources, but the modern techniques of DNA testing, has led to most interesting results, which have already been presented, in part, in a 90-minute BBC documentary, and will appear separately in a non-fiction book, now in preparation.

This book explores the Persian and Islamic conquests of Jerusalem in 614CE and 638CE in light of of previous attempts at Jewish restoration. It looks closely at the Persian-Jewish and subsequent Arab-Jewish alliances, and the role of the Exilarch. Using contemporary sources, it works to reconstruct the history of Nehemiah ben Hushiel, his brother Shallum (Salman Farsi) and nephews Heman (Abdullah ibn Salam) and Yakub (Ka'b Al-Ahbar), who played pivotal roles in these conquests working with the early Muslims. This book is for those who wish to view history through the eyes of those who actually lived it, and who understand that those involved in these pivotal events viewed them from profoundly different perspectives. Revisiting both the tensions and cooperation between emerging Muslim and longstanding communities at the time of Muhammad (pbuh) may hold the key to rapprochement today. It is possible that the future of Islamic- Jewish relations lies with our past.
