About this person
He is known particularly for his English translations of numerous apocryphal and pseudepigraphal Ancient Hebrew writings, including the Book of Jubilees (1895), the Apocalypse of Baruch (1896), the Ascension of Isaiah (1900), the Book of Enoch (1906), and the Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs (1908). He wrote the articles in the eleventh edition of Encyclopædia Britannica (1911) attributed to the initials "R. H. C." He specialized in Ancient Judaism and Second Temple Judaism, and emphasized the importance of such pseudepigraphal writings for the era's Jews, despite the lack of emphasis on them in later Rabbinic Judaism.
