The Jewish Textual Traditions
Open accessAbstract
The apocryphal Book of Judith is undoubtedly a Jewish work, written by and intended for Jews, and Judith is portrayed as an ideal Jewish heroine, as her very name, Yehudit, ”Jewess,” indicates. Nonetheless, her story has had a checkered history among the Jews and Judith seems to have disappeared from Jewish tradition for well over a millennium.Let us begin with a brief look at the Book of Judith, as it appears in the Septuagint, the oldest of the extant Judith texts.

“Although the book of Judith is more explicitly religious than Esther, another book featuring a heroine who risks her life to save her people, it was never considered for inclusion in the Jewish canon (for possible explanations see Zeitlin in Enslin and Zeitlin 1972: 24-6 and Gera 2010: 27-8).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
