Lost Work
A lost work is a document, literary work, or piece of multimedia produced some time in the past, of which no surviving copies are known to exist. It can only be known through reference. This term most commonly applies to works from the classical world, although it is increasingly used in relation to modern works. A work may be lost to history through the destruction of an original manuscript and all later copies. Works—or, commonly, small fragments of works—have survived by being found by archaeologists during investigations, or accidentally by anybody, such as, for example, the Nag Hammadi library scrolls. Works also survived when they were reused as bookbinding materials, quoted or included in other works, or as palimpsests, where an original document is imperfectly erased so the substrate on which it was written can be reused. The discovery, in 1822, of Cicero's ''De re publica'' was one of the first major recoveries of a lost ancient text from a palimpsest. Another famous ...

Iddo (prophet)
Iddo (Hebrew: עִדּוֹ ''ʿĪddō''; also Jedo; , ''Adei, Addō'') was a biblical prophet. According to the Books of Chronicles, he lived during the reigns of King Solomon and his heirs, Rehoboam and Abijah, in the Kingdom of Judah. Hebrew Bible Although little is known about Iddo, the Books of Chronicles say that the events of Solomon's reign, as well as Iddo's prophecies concerning king Jeroboam I of Israel, were recorded in writing. The alleged records composed by Iddo are no longer extant. He is also credited with a history of King Rehoboam and his son King Abijah. Other mentions A tradition of identifying Iddo with the unnamed prophet of 1 Kings 13 can be found in the Talmud, first-century BC Jewish historian Josephus, the fourth- and fifth-century Christian commentator Jerome, and the medieval Jewish commentator Rashi.

Jeroboam I (; Hebrew: ''Yārŏḇə‘ām''; el, Ἱεροβοάμ, Hieroboám) was the first king of the northern Kingdom of Israel. The Hebrew Bible describes the reign of Jeroboam to have commenced following a revolt of the ten northern Israelite tribes against Rehoboam that put an end to the United Monarchy.
