The Chronographiae of Julius Africanus and its Jewish Antecedents
Abstract
ZUSAMMENFASSUNG: In der Forschung ist die Meinung verbreitet, dass Julius Africanus in seinen Chronographiae einfach geläufi ge Topoi der jüdischen (und christlichen) Tradition zu einer vollständigen Chronik ausgeweitet hat. Verf. analysiert die Art und Weise, wie Julius Africanus ältere jüdische Quellen und Traditionen benutzt hat, und berücksichtigt dabei die verschiedenen Bereiche des benutzten Quellenmaterials: mündliche Überlieferung palästinischer Provenienz, biblische Exegese, Historiographie, apokryphe Literatur (besonders das Jubiläenbuch und das äthiopische Henochbuch), Apologetik und apokalyptische Endzeitspekulation. Es zeigt sich, dass Julius Africanus dieses facettenreiche Quellenmaterial an die Erfordernisse der hellenistischen Universalchronik angepasst und so aus dem von ihm benutzten Material etwas ganz Eigenständiges geschaffen hat.

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.
