| Title: Once again - who captured Masada? On doublets, reading against the grain, and what Josephus actually wrote Secondary Title: Scripta Classica Israelica Volume: 24 Pages: 75-83 Type: Journal Article Year: 2005 Abstract: The author argues against the source-critics that it was Menahem or the aristocratic priests from Jerusalem who captured Masada. Instead, the author claims that it was Eleazar and the Sicarii who captured the fortress. He continues to argue that the critics have ignored the records of Josephus and inserted more appealing stories from other sources. Keywords: Masada; Jewish War; Eleazar ben Yair |
