“I clothed you in purple”: The Rabbinic king-parables of the third-century Roman Empire - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Abstract"I Clothed You in Purple"The Rabbinic King-Parables of the Third-Century Roman EmpireAlan AppelbaumMay 2007This is an analysis of comparisons the Rabbis made with kings, limited toRoman Palestine and to the ninety-year period beginning with the accession ofthe Emperor Septimius Severus in 193 C.E. and ending with the accession ofDiocletian. Based primarily on the original rabbinic texts, it also draws ontraditional Greek and Latin sources of imperial history and brings contemporarytheory to bear.A major part of the study re-examines current scholarly views aboutking-parables and finds them wanting - including the still prevalentpresupposition that "the king" is usually modeled on the emperor; the idea,recently renewed by Daniel Boyarin, that the Rabbis told the parables to makeTorah accessible to non-Rabbis; and, most important, the idea, championed byDavid Stern, that "the king," no matter what earthly ruler he is modeled on, isa stand-in for God. The study also supplements the ongoing work on king-parables being done by Clemens Thoma and his colleagues in Switzerland.As the study attends to the king-parables' form, structure, functions,settings and characters, it emphasizes the Rabbis' distinctive ideas about therelationship of humanity to God.Since the parables were produced by an intellectual elite in a countryoccupied by a world-empire, the study considers them as resistance literatureand explores what contemporary post-colonial theory and James C. Scott'swork concerning "hidden transcripts" may have to say about them.And since scholars of Roman history traditionally bemoan the paucity ofsources for the period, it poses the hypothesis that making comparisons to"kings" modeled on emperors or their representatives involves at least thinkingone knows something about them. The Rabbis' accounts of such "kings" notonly shed light on the attitudes of a group of literate citizens in a particulareastern province toward living, breathing emperors but also provideinformation about third-century imperial history, sometimes confirminggenerally accepted readings of traditional sources, sometimes supportingsources that have been regarded as questionable, and sometimes helping toresolve open issue
