Seder Olam Zutta (“The Small Order of the World”) is an anonymous 9th-century chronicle, called “zuta” (small) to distinguish it from the older Seder Olam Rabbah. Based in part on the Seder Olam Rabbah, the work continues the project of providing dates for historical events, beginning with Adam and continuing to the talmudic period.
