Description

Poor Ezra: No family, no history and no book: No family name and reputation left for him, no date of arrival indicated that can be trusted. The whole story of Ezra and his mission is a incredible mixture of unbelievable elements. The “facts” presented lead nowhere and his family links are spurious.
