Abstract: "Kritische Besprechung von P. Fornaro, Giuseppe Flavio, Tacito e l'impero, Torino, Giappichelli 1980, der die wunderbaren Zeichen vor dem Abfall Jerusalems bei J. Flavius (BJ VI,284-315) und Tacitus (Hist. V,13) vergleicht. Der Vf. Wirft dem Buch vor, daß die grundsätzliche Verschiedenheit zwischen den beiden Autoren nicht genug beachtet wurde. // P. Fornaro's Guiseppe Flavio, Tacito e l'impero (1980) compares the accounts of Jerusalem's fall in A.D. 70 found in Josephus War 6:284-315 and Tacitus' Histories 5:13. But more attention should have been focused on the exaggerated importance accorded to the Jewish War by Josephus, the Jewish-Hellenistic cultural formation he received, and the significance of this formation for understanding his account in comparison with that of Tacitus. - D.J.H."
