| Title: Queen Salamzion Alexandra and Judas Aristobulus I' s Widow. Did Jannaeus Alexander Contract a Levirate Marriage? Secondary Title: JSJ Volume: 24 Pages: 181-190 Type: Journal Article Year: 1993 Abstract: "The modern scholarly supposition that the widow of Judas Aristobus I became the wife of the new king, Jannaeus Alexander, ist beset by onomastic and chronological difficulties. If Josephus does not mention a marriage between Salina Alexandra, Judas Aristobulus I' s widow, and Jannaeus Alexander, this is probably due to the fact that such a match never took place. In fact, when read carefully, Josephus indicates that Jannaeus Alexander was married to Salamzion Alexandra before ascending the throne". - C.R.M. Keywords: Jewish History: Hasmonean / Maccabean Era |
