Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. 2018 OUP hardcover reprint edition. Unread copy in very good condition. A series of six Jewish folktales from the Second Temple period sets the stage for examination of the image of the Hasmoneans in the eyes of their contemporaries and later generations. On the one hand, these brief, colorful legends are embedded in the narrative of the historian of the age, Flavius Josephus. On the other hand, they are scattered throughout the extensive halakhic-exegetical compositions known as rabbinic literature, redacted and compiled centuries later. Based on these tales that describe the Hasmonean dynasty and its history from legendary founders to eventual downfall, the present volume considers the Hasmoneans through the lens of reception history. Each set of parallel stories is mined for original message, language, and historical context. The disparate natures of the Josephan and the rabbinic versions are then explored in an attempt to reconstruct the adaptation of the putative original traditions within the two corpora and to decode each one's emphases, reworkings, and unique orientation. The compilation and characterization of these sources, which were preserved and transmitted in two such different conduits, facilitates examination of the relationship between the distinctive libraries and worlds of Josephus and rabbinic literature. Moreover, it brings us closer to reconstruction of a lost literary continent, a hidden Jewish 'Atlantis' of early pseudo-historical legends, and traces the creation of collective memory.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. The shifting image of the Hasmoneans in the eyes of their contemporaries and later generations is a compelling issue in the history of the Maccabean revolt and the Hasmonean commonwealth. Based on a series of six Jewish folktales from the Second Temple period that describe the Hasmonean dynasty and its history from its legendary founders, through achievement of full sovereignty, to downfall, this volume examines the Hasmoneans through the lens of reception history.On the one hand, these brief, colorful legends are embedded in the narrative of the historian of the age, Flavius Josephus; on the other hand, they are scattered throughout the extensivehalakhic-exegetical compositions known as rabbinic literature, redacted and compiled centuries later.Each set of parallel stories is examined for the motivation underlying its creation, its original message, language, and the historical context. This analysis is followed by exploration of the nature of the relationship between the Josephan and the rabbinic versions, in an attempt to reconstruct the adaptation of the putative original traditions in the two corpora, and todecipher the disparities, different emphases, reworking, and unique orientations typical of each. These adaptations reflect the reception of the pristine tales and thus disclose the shifting images ofthe Hasmoneans in later generations and within distinct contexts. The compilation and characterization of these sources which were preserved by means of two such different conduits of transmission brings us closer to reconstruction of a lost literary continent, a hidden Jewish "Atlantis" of early pseudo-historical legends and facilitates examination of the relationship between the substantially different libraries and worlds of Josephus and rabbinic literature. This work considers a series of Jewish stories that describe cruxes in the history of the Hasmonean revolt and the Hasmonean kingdom, embedded both in the narrative of Flavius Josephus and in the halakhic-exegetical compositions of rabbinic literature.
