    Keywords: Apion, ; Josephus, Flavius. ; Antisemitism History To 500
    Abstract: Analyzes Josephus' portrait of Apion and his refutation of Apion's case against the Jews, as well as other ancient references to Apion, and expresses doubts that the Alexandrian grammarian was indeed the preeminent antisemite of the ancient world. Apion's writings did not survive, thus the Apion of modern scholarship is known mainly from Josephus' description of his works and his thought. The anti-Jewish diatribes of Apion, mainly in his "Aegyptiaca", do not constitute a coherent anti-Jewish treatise which can be seen as evidence of his hatred for Jews; rather, they either pursue goals other than attacking the Jews or can be reinterpreted as actually being neutral or having minor significance. Contends that Josephus chose Apion, from all the contemporary authors who wrote against the Jews, as an ideal opponent. Apion was known as a man of bad character, who had made many false statements in his writings. He also had doubtful, maybe Egyptian, ethnic origins. Expresses doubts that the treatise "Kata Ioudaion", attributed to Apion, ever existed.

    Abstract: The Roman destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70 was a watershed event in the religious, political, and social life of first-century Jews. This book explores the reaction to this event found in Jewish apocalypses and related literature preserved among the Pseudepigrapha (4 Ezra, 2 Baruch, 3 Baruch, 4 Baruch, Sibylline Oracles 4 and 5, and the Apocalypse of Abraham). While keeping the historical context of their composition in mind, the author analyzes the texts with a view to answering the following questions: What do these texts tell us about Jewish attitudes toward the Roman Empire? How did Jews understand the situation in post-70 Judea through the lens of Israel's past, especially the Babylonian sack of Jerusalem in 587 B.C.?
