Aristobulos in Alexandria: Jüdische Bibelexegese Zwischen Griechen Und Ägyptern Unter Ptolemaios VI. Philometor
Bok av Markus Mulke
During the reign of Ptolemy VI Philometor (180-145 BCE), the Jewish author Aristobulos wrote an extensive text that he personally addressed to the ruler, which dealt with the correct interpretation of the Pentateuch. The few preserved fragments still offer multifaceted insights on the early phase of Jewish exegesis - 200 years before Philo, in the conflicted world of the Alexandrine Greeks and Egyptians.
