Baruch was een leerling van de profeet Jeremia en een van de schrijvers die de uitspraken van de profeet opschreef, op een rol. Deze rol werd door koning Jojakim verbrand, uit woede over het voorspelde onheil. Vervolgens legde Baruch de profetieën nogmaals vast op schrift.

This is the only one of the five primary romances which we possess in its entirety. It is of great length and considerable interest.
