14. It's the only one you mentioned.
I don't think I said anything about you. I was reacting to that omission in your post.

But you got me thinking. I'm wondering if any part of those religious text are necessary to understanding history. We treat Greek classics as literature, not religion. All those others are similarly literary works. Whatever influence religion itself has on history could be summed up in a paragraph or two. History itself is outside those works.
