Title: Tod und Sterben im Krieg bei Josephus: Die Intentionen von Bellum und Antiquitates im Kontext griechisch-römischer Historiographie (Texts and Studies in Ancient Judaism, TSAJ, Band 158) ISBN: 9783161528286
Description: Tübingen, Mohr Siebeck, 2014. 601 pp. Fine copy. Hardcover with dustjacket. As an author, Josephus is increasingly becoming the focus of research on his works. However, a monograph especially dedicated to the intentions of Bellum and Antiquitates is still to be written. Soren Swoboda approaches this question on the basis of five themes associated with representations of 'death and dying in war'. Based on the observation that German language. Josephus functionalizes these themes as a medium for transporting the key intentions of a work, and that a comparison with Greco-Roman historical works provides crucial insights into his textual pragmatic perspective, Soren Swoboda broadens his view towards the end of the book and develops comprehensive theories regarding the intentions of Bellum and Antiquitates and their contextualization within ancient historiography.
