Seder Olam Zuta

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Seder Olam Zuta ( the small world chronicle , Hebrew סדר עולם זוטא) is an old Jewish chronicle written after 700 by an anonymous author, containing a list of 89 generations from Abraham to exile and then to the end of the Talmudic period.

The main interest of the author was the office of the exile, or polemically the delegitimization of the exile of non-David origin.
