Reviews

De maniere generale, c'est l'histoire de la reception des livres des Maccabees en monde chretien qui est etudiee ici, et non celle de la reception juive (a une exception pres). On ne peut qu'encourager la directrice du volume a envisager une suite a ce bel ouvrage, qui porterait cette fois sur l'histoire de la reception des Maccabees dans le monde juif, de l'Antiquite a nos jours. Katell Berthelot, Recherches de Science Religieuse, Avril - Juin 2012, Tome 100/2, section Bulletin de Judaisme Ancien (2), 292-294 pp.

La miscellanea qui presentata e destinata di certo a porsi come un punto di riferimento per le future ricerche sulla storia e sulle numerose reinterpretazioni dei Maccabei dall'eta antica fino ai giorni nostri.
