Abstract: "I. Josephus: ""our investigations have led to the conclusion that, so far as it is possible to ascertain, only behind the report in Ant. 18:63 f is there reliable evidence in Josephus for the historian seeking to reconstruct a picture of Jesus of Nazareth..."". - II. the Rabbinic Traditions: ""What emerges from the last part of our study is that almost none of the material stands up to careful scrutiny. In fact all we are left with is the list of five disciples of Jesus in b.Sanh. 43a which possibly contains an independent echo of at least two of the names of Jesus' disciples. The Rabbinic literature is, then, of almost no value to the historian in his search for the historical Jesus""."
