| Title: Josephus, First Maccabees, Sparta, the three "haireseis" - and Cicero Secondary Title: Journal for the Study of Judaism Volume: 32,3 Pages: 241-251 Type: Journal Article Year: 2001 Abstract: In AJ 13: 171-173, Josephus mentioned the presence of the three schools: the Pharisees, the Sadducees and the Essences. This passage is parallel to 1 Mac 12: 19-23. However, Josephus had already quoted 1 Mac 12: 19-23 in AJ 12: 226-227. Sievers thus suspects that Josephus might have inserted the passage about the schools to 13: 171-173 in the second edition. Keywords: Maccabees; Pharisees; Sadducees; Essenes |
