Sommario/riassunto

This work criticizes the terms ""Pseudepigraphy"" and ""Rewritten Bible"", which presuppose conceptions of textual fidelity foreign to ancient Judaism. It develops the concept of a discourse whose creativity and authority depend on repeated returns to the exemplary figure of a founder.
