Bibliography
Throughout the book, reference is made to 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.
Reviews and comments
Please include any comments or reviews here. A suggested format would be to include By followed by a link to your User page in the title.
The Revised Edition
RoPTD was originally published in July 2005. In 2009 plagiarism was found in its Judaism chapter[1]. 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 free download on the product page at Atlas' website. Note that in addition to it, the Revised Edition also includes errata in the other chapters.

- ↑ In a Dec 29, 2009 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."
