| Title: | Ussher Data Set Drawn from 1658 Chronology |
|---|---|
| Description: | The "ussher" data set is drawn from original chronological textual historic events. Commonly known as James Ussher's Annals of the World, the source text was originally written in Latin in 1650, and published in English translation in 1658.The data are classified by index, year, epoch (or one of the 7 ancient "Ages of the World"), Biblical source book if referenced (rarely), as well as alternate dating mechanisms, such as "Anno Mundi" (age of the world) or "Julian Period" (dates based upon the Julian calendar). Additional file "usshfull" includes variables that may be of further interest to historians, such as Southern Kingdom and Northern Kingdom discrepant dates, and the original amalgamated dating mechanic used by Ussher in the original text. The raw data can also be called using "usshraw", as described in: Ussher, J. (1658) <https://archive.org/stream/AnnalsOfTheWorld/Annals_djvu.txt>. |

A tibble with 5011 rows and 8 variables:
dbl The indexed number of Ussher's paragraphs, in ascending chronological order, added by later editors.
chr Ussher's original historical paragraph, cleaned for text processing
dbl Harmonized year BC or AD proposed by Ussher. BC is a negative number. AD is positive.
chr denoting which of the 7 ancient "Ages of the World" the event falls into
chr a Biblical Book reference, if one is included in the paragraph
dbl denoting "Anno Mundus" or age of the world from Creation, or 4004 BC
