Eventually many scholars collaborated on the project including John Lightfoot (1602-75) & James Ussher (1581-1656). Among the preforatory materials are charts on biblical weights & measures. descriptions of the 2nd temple & a "Sacred Chronology" which computes the dates of major historical & biblical events "ab orbe condito."
