Description
This research project, funded by the Israel Science Foundation and located at the University of Haifa, introduces an innovative approach to studying the reception of Flavius Josephus' works within the Greek Christian tradition from the second to fourteenth centuries CE. While scholars have long acknowledged Josephus' profound influence on European intellectual history, a systematic investigation of his works' integration into Greek Christian literature has remained notably absent. The project is developing innovative algorithms and infrastructures to locate, analyze and characterize instances of reuse of Josephus' works in Christian literature. Furthermore, as part of its mission, it will locate, clean and open to the scholarly community a large corpus of Greek Christian writings up to the 15th century CE.
