===Bibliography===
Throughout the book, reference is made to [[Real History|real historical authors]] and works from the contemporary timeline, or just before or after.  For instance, Rabbi Benjamin of Tudela is referenced for his works (unnamed in the source book, but likely The Itinerary of Benjamin of Tudela) to describe the treatment of Jews in Byzantium.  That work actually provided a census and other information from Spain to Byzantium.

Page 144 provides a bibliography of modern works on the relevant subjects.

==The Revised Edition==
RoPTD was originally published in July 2005. In 2009 plagiarism was found in its Judaism chapter<ref>In a Dec 29, 2009 [http://forum.atlas-games.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=5417#p72057 post on the official forum], [[John Nephew]] wrote: "To be completely honest, we learned that portions of the 4th edition supplement, Kabbalah, which were reprinted in ROP:Divine, were plagiarized. This is why neither Kabbalah nor ROP:D is available in PDF. We won't reprint or sell it in any form until the offending section is rewritten from scratch."</ref>. Atlas ceased selling the book and didn't allow it to be sold as a PDF, but a new Judaism chapter was quickly written and the revised edition was published in 2011. The revised edition is available in print and PDF. 

The new Judaism chapter is available as a [http://www.atlas-games.com/pdf_storage/DivineRevisedJUDAISM-WebPreview.pdf free download] on the [http://www.atlas-games.com/product_tables/AG0278.php product page] at Atlas' website.
