| Title: Per l'interpretazione dell'Autobiografia di Flavio Giuseppe Secondary Title: Athenaeum Volume: 59 Pages: 92-137 Type: Journal Article Year: 1981 Abstract: "Cet ouvrage est d'inspiration nettement apologétique: l'auteur entend réfuter les accusations portées contre lui au sujet de son activité en Galilée et se laver de tout reproche susceptible de porter atteinte à son prestige auprès des Juifs de la Diaspora".
"A Comparison of the common subject matter (the events in Galilee) in the War and the Life of Josephus shows the apologetic purpose underlying the latter work. As a matter of fact, the Life is a response to the attacks launched on Josephus by Justus of Tiberias. These attacks, unless duly beaten off, would have undermined Josephus' position with his audience, the Jewry of the diaspora". - A. Hilhorst Keywords: Vita |
