| Title: Josephus and the Mishnah; two views on the outline of the map of Palestine in the first two centuries A.D. Secondary Title: Revue des Etudes Juives Volume: 163,3-4 Pages: 415-428 Type: Journal Article Year: 2004 Abstract: Josephus employed the Hellenistic tradition of geography to describe the geography in the land of Israel. After outlining the map of all the frontiers of the land of Israel, he put Jerusalem in the middle. It reflected the reality of his time and his priestly view. The Mishnah description on the geography in Palestine reflected the historical reality that changes occurred to Jewish settlements after the destruction of the Temple. It thus paid particular attention to the coastal area where changes occurred. Keywords: Jerusalem; Galilee |
