Description

Leuven: Uitgeverij Peeters, 2006. Presumed first edition/first printing. Trade paperback. Very good. No dust jacket as issued.. XIX, [1], 581, 1] p. Chronological List of rabbis. Bibliography. Index of Names. Interdisciplinary Studies in Ancient Culture and Religion, No. 7. While conquering the world, Rome encountered a great number of people around the Mediterranean. The Jews however are perhaps the only race who, over a span of considerable time, expressing themselves in Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic. We know very little about how these populations viewed their conquerors. The Jews were the only people to offer a comprehensive view of Rome over a great span of time. They expressed it in a rich corpus of Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic sources, reflecting the evolution of the relations between Jews and Romans: from alliance and friendship to tensions and revolt, culminating for the Jews in temporary compliance to foreign domination together with hopeful expectations for redemption. The image of Rome which emerges from apocryphal, Talmudic and Midrashic literature durably shaped the Jewish political, moral and eschatological vision of the world and history.
