Zusammenfassung: | Philo's Portrayal of Moses in the Context of Ancient Judaism presents the most comprehensive study of Philo's De Vita Mosis that exists in any language. Feldman, well known for his work on Josephus and ancient Judaism, here paves new ground using rabbinic material with philological precision to illuminate important parallels and differences between Philo's writing on Moses and rabbinic literature. One way in which Hellenistic culture marginalized Judaism was by exposing the apparent defects in Moses' life and character. Philo's De vita Mosis is a counterattack to these charges and is a vital piece of his attempt to reconcile Judaism and Hellenism. Feldman rigorously examines the text and shows how Philo presents an aretalogy similar to that of a mythical divine and heroic figure, by glorifying the birth, education, and virtues of Moses. Feldman demonstrates that Philo is careful to explain in a scientific way those portions of the Bible, particularly miracles, that appear incredible to his skeptical Hellenistic readers. Through Feldman's careful analysis, Moses emerges as unique among ancient lawgivers. Philo's Portrayal of Moses in the Context of Ancient Judaism mirrors the organization of Philo's biography of Moses, which is in two books, the first, in the style of Plutarch, proceeding chronologically, and the second, in the style of Suetonius, arranged topically. Feldman's book discusses the life of Moses chronologically and in the third chapter examines his virtues topically. Feldman compares the particular features of Philo's portrait of Moses with the way in which Moses is viewed both by Jewish sources in antiquity (including Pseudo-Philo; Josephus; Graeco-Jewish historians, poets, and philosophers; and in the Apocrypha, Pseudepigrapha, Samaritan tradition, Dead Sea Scrolls, and rabbinic tradition) and by non-Jewish sources, notably the Greek and Roman writers who mention him. |

Feldman, well known for his work on Josephus and ancient Judaism, here paves new ground using rabbinic material with philological precision to illuminate important parallels and differences between Philo's writing on Moses and rabbinic literature. One way in which Hellenistic culture marginalized Judaism was by exposing the apparent defects in Moses' life and character. Philo's De vita Mosis is a counterattack to these charges and is a vital piece of his attempt to reconcile Judaism and Hellenism. Feldman rigorously examines the text and shows how Philo presents an aretalogy similar to that of a mythical divine and heroic figure, by glorifying the birth, education, and virtues of Moses. Feldman demonstrates that Philo is careful to explain in a scientific way those portions of the Bible, particularly miracles, that appear incredible to his skeptical Hellenistic readers. Through Feldman's careful analysis, Moses emerges as unique among ancient lawgivers. Philo's Portrayal of Moses in the Context of Ancient Judaism mirrors the organization of Philo's biography of Moses, which is in two books, the first, in the style of Plutarch, proceeding chronologically, and the second, in the style of Suetonius, arranged topically. Feldman's book discusses the life of Moses chronologically and in the third chapter examines his virtues topically. Feldman compares the particular features of Philo's portrait of Moses with the way in which Moses is viewed both by Jewish sources in antiquity (including Pseudo-Philo; Josephus; Graeco-Jewish historians, poets, and philosophers; and in the Apocrypha, Pseudepigrapha, Samaritan tradition, Dead Sea Scrolls, and rabbinic tradition) and by non-Jewish sources, notably the Greek and Roman writers who mention him.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="600" ind1="1" ind2="4"><subfield code="a">Moses</subfield><subfield code="c">(Biblical leader)</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="600" ind1="1" ind2="4"><subfield code="a">Philo</subfield><subfield code="c">of Alexandria</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="600" ind1="1" ind2="4"><subfield code="a">Pseudo-Philo</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="600" ind1="1" ind2="4"><subfield code="a">Josephus, Flavius</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="600" ind1="0" ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Philo</subfield><subfield code="c">Alexandrinus</subfield><subfield code="d">v25-40</subfield><subfield code="t">De vita Mosis</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4413155-0</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="9">rswk-swf</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="600" ind1="1" ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Josephus, Flavius</subfield><subfield code="d">37-100</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)118640003</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="9">rswk-swf</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="630" ind1="0" ind2="4"><subfield code="a">Dead Sea scrolls</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">Rabbinical literature</subfield><subfield code="x">History and criticism</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">Greek literature, Hellenistic</subfield><subfield code="x">Jewish authors</subfield><subfield code="x">History and criticism</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="4"><subfield code="a">Christian literature, Early</subfield><subfield code="x">History and criticism</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1="0" ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Rabbinische Literatur</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4048110-4</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield code="9">rswk-swf</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="689" ind1="0" ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Philo</subfield><subfield code="c">Alexandrinus</subfield><subfield code="d">v25-40</subfield><subfield code="t">De vita Mosis</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4413155-0</subfield><subfield code="D">u</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="689" ind1="0" ind2="1"><subfield code="a">Josephus, Flavius</subfield><subfield code="d">37-100</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)118640003</subfield><subfield code="D">p</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="689" ind1="0" ind2="2"><subfield code="a">Rabbinische Literatur</subfield><subfield code="0">(DE-588)4048110-4</subfield><subfield code="D">s</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="689" ind1="0" ind2=" "><subfield code="5">DE-604</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="830" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Christianity and Judaism in antiquity series</subfield><subfield code="v">15</subfield><subfield code="w">(DE-604)BV001327592</subfield><subfield code="9">15</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="856" ind1="4" ind2=" "><subfield code="u">http://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/ecip0717/2007017368.html</subfield><subfield code="3">Table of contents only</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="856" ind1="4" ind2="2"><subfield code="m">HEBIS Datenaustausch</subfield><subfield code="q">application/pdf</subfield><subfield code="u">http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=016407966&sequence=000004&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA</subfield><subfield code="3">Inhaltsverzeichnis</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="940" ind1="1" ind2=" "><subfield code="n">gbd</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="940" ind1="1" ind2=" "><subfield code="n">oe</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="940" ind1="1" ind2=" "><subfield code="q">DHB_BSB_AHF_ISBN</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="940" ind1="1" ind2=" "><subfield code="q">DHB_DEL</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="940" ind1="1" ind2=" "><subfield code="q">gbd_JL_Z0805</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="942" ind1="1" ind2="1"><subfield code="c">880</subfield><subfield code="e">22/bsb</subfield><subfield code="f">09015</subfield><subfield code="g">38</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="942" ind1="1" ind2="1"><subfield code="c">200.9</subfield><subfield code="e">22/bsb</subfield><subfield code="f">09015</subfield><subfield code="g">37</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="942" ind1="1" ind2="1"><subfield code="c">870</subfield><subfield code="e">22/bsb</subfield><subfield code="f">09015</subfield><subfield code="g">37</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="942" ind1="1" ind2="1"><subfield code="c">909.04924</subfield><subfield code="e">22/bsb</subfield><subfield code="f">09015</subfield><subfield code="g">37</subfield></datafield></record></collection> |

Univ. of Notre Dame Press 2007 XIX, 542 S. txt rdacontent n rdamedia nc rdacarrier Christianity and Judaism in antiquity series 15 Includes bibliographical references and index Philo's Portrayal of Moses in the Context of Ancient Judaism presents the most comprehensive study of Philo's De Vita Mosis that exists in any language. Feldman, well known for his work on Josephus and ancient Judaism, here paves new ground using rabbinic material with philological precision to illuminate important parallels and differences between Philo's writing on Moses and rabbinic literature. One way in which Hellenistic culture marginalized Judaism was by exposing the apparent defects in Moses' life and character. Philo's De vita Mosis is a counterattack to these charges and is a vital piece of his attempt to reconcile Judaism and Hellenism. Feldman rigorously examines the text and shows how Philo presents an aretalogy similar to that of a mythical divine and heroic figure, by glorifying the birth, education, and virtues of Moses. Feldman demonstrates that Philo is careful to explain in a scientific way those portions of the Bible, particularly miracles, that appear incredible to his skeptical Hellenistic readers. Through Feldman's careful analysis, Moses emerges as unique among ancient lawgivers. Philo's Portrayal of Moses in the Context of Ancient Judaism mirrors the organization of Philo's biography of Moses, which is in two books, the first, in the style of Plutarch, proceeding chronologically, and the second, in the style of Suetonius, arranged topically. Feldman's book discusses the life of Moses chronologically and in the third chapter examines his virtues topically. Feldman compares the particular features of Philo's portrait of Moses with the way in which Moses is viewed both by Jewish sources in antiquity (including Pseudo-Philo; Josephus; Graeco-Jewish historians, poets, and philosophers; and in the Apocrypha, Pseudepigrapha, Samaritan tradition, Dead Sea Scrolls, and rabbinic tradition) and by non-Jewish sources, notably the Greek and Roman writers who mention him.
