The First and Second Book of Esdras is a collection of ancient Jewish texts that have been translated into English and printed in 1611 as part of The Nonesuch Edition.

The First Book of Esdras tells the story of the rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem after the Babylonian exile, while the Second Book of Esdras contains prophecies about the end of the world and the coming of a new age. The Nonesuch Edition is a high-quality printing that includes detailed illustrations and annotations to help readers understand the historical and cultural context of these ancient texts.
