| Title: Flavius Josèphe en Galilée. Les ambiguïté d'une image Secondary Title: RPh Volume: 64 Pages: 75-93 Type: Journal Article Year: 1995 Abstract: in: AnPh 66 (1995), 192: "Un des intérêts majeurs de l'autobiographie de Flavius Josèphe est la multiplicité des mages que l'auteur y donne de lui-même. Mais ces images ont un trait commun. Général tout puissant ou homme rejeté de tous. Josèphe échappe toujours à l'humanité moyenne: il demeure seul dans la grandeur comme dans l'abandon, et plus encore dans l'élection dont il se sent l'objet, de la part des puissances temporelles, Jérusalem et Rome, et surtout de la providence divine".
Hilhorst, A. in: JSJ 28.2 (1997), 237: Author's summary: "The multifarious image of himself which Josephus gives in his Vita is a question of great interest. However, these images offer a common feature. Almighty general or man whom all people leave, Josephus does not belong to the ordinary mankind: he stays alone in greatness as well as in dereliction, and still more when he feels himself chosen by political powers, - Jerusalem and Rome - , and above all by Providence".
Harrington, Daniel J.: "In his Vita, Josephus presented himself as a lonely figure - both glorious (intelligent, irreproachable, all powerful) and tragic (voiceless, trusting, abandoned). His solitude was largely compensated by his sens of double election - by the Romans on the human level, and by provicence on the divine level". Keywords: Palestinian Judaism, Galilee |
