| Summary: | Don Isaac Abravanel, the famous Jewish commentator who lived in Portugal, Spain, and Italy during the transition from the medieval times to the Renaissance (1437-1508), draws several times to Josephus's writing in his commentary on the Bible. While the Book of Josippon was known to other Medieval Jewish commentators, the same cannot be said of Josephus, whose writings were available in Greek and Latin only. In this paper I will point to references to Josippon and Josephus throughout Abravanel's writings. I will demonstrate the ways that Abravanel made use of these authors in his writings. |
