He was the son of Amos, whom some of the fathers supposed to be the prophet Amos, the names being identical in Greek; in Hebrew, how ever, they are different, the prophet being Amos, and Isaiah's father Amots. As in the vision recorded in Isaiah vi., the prophet is represented as being in the court which none but the descendants of Aaron might enter, he was perhaps a priest. He was born probably between B. C. 788 and 783. He married a woman to whom, as to him, prophetic gifts were given (Isa. viii. 3). One of his sons was called Shear-jashub=a remnant returns, or a remnant will return (vii. 3); another Maher-shalal-hash-baz= hasten to the spoil, quickly carry off the prey. Isaiah exerted great influence at the court of Jeru salem under Ahaz, and yet more under Hezekiah. He was contemporary with Amos, Hosea, Micah, and perhaps with Joel. Besides his prophecies, he wrote also biographies or histories of Uzziah (2 Chron. xxvi. 22), and Hezekiah (xxxii. 32). Tradition says that he was sawn asunder by order of King Mana eh, his tragic fate, it is supposed, being alluded to in Heb. xi. 37. [1] The Prophecies of Isaiah: Scripture Canon : The first and most important of the prophetic books. It is headed "The vision of Isaiah, the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, Kings of Judah." If chapter vi. is chronologically the earliest of any, and describes his first call to the prophetic office, his utterances would commence in B. C. 758, 757, or 756. If the prophecies are arranged in the order of time, then chapters i.-v. would belong o an earlier period. Omitting these writings of uncertain date, the next utterances are in the reign of Ahaz, none apparently belonging to the sixteen years of Jotham's reign. He continued at least till the fourth year of King Hezekiah, B. C. 712, a period of 44 to 46 years. This is the minimum span of his prophecies; the maximum is much greater. The book naturally divides itself into three parts: (1) chapters x. to xxxv., the earlier prophecies; (2) ch. xxxvi. to xxxix., an historic appendix or inter calation; and (3) ch. xl. to lxvi. the later prophecies. The standpoint in this third section is that of the Babylonian captivity, and Cyrus, who set the two tribes free, is mentioned by name (xliv. 28, xlv. 1). Hence Koppe (A. D. 1779-1781) supposed a second author, a view adopted by Doderlein, Eichhorn, Justi, Paulus De Wette, Gesenius, Ewald, and nearly all rationalistic critics. On the other hand Hengstenberg, Haver nick, Keil, ., have maintained the integrity of Isaiah. Viewed as a poetic composition the book of Isaiah exhibits genius of a very high order. There are numerous quotations from or references to Isaiah in the New Testament, ch. liii. and other prophecies (vii. 14; ix. 1, 2; liii. 4; lxiii. 1-3) being considered Me ianic and applied to Jesus. Hence Jerome considered that Isaiah should rather be called an evangelist than a prophet, and he is frequently called the fifth Evangelist. Isaiah i. 9 Rom. ix. 29; vi. 9, 10 Mat. xiii. 14, 15.

It may also be produced synthetically by the action of oxidizing agents on amido-oxindol, or by the reduction of ortho nitro-phenyl glyoxalic acid in alkaline solution. Isatine does not unite with acids, but rather plays the part of an acid. It dis solves in pota ic hydrate, forming a dark violet colored solution of pota ium isatine, which, on addition of argentic nitrate, gives carmine-red crystals of argentic isatine, C . It also yields crystalline compounds, with alkaline hydric sulphites. Boiling with concentrated nitric acid, it is converted first into nitro-salicylic acid, and finally into trinitro-phenol. When strongly heated, isatine fuses and sublimes in part unchanged.
