Simeon the Righteous in Second Temple chronology. 330 $aIn Simeon the Righteous in Rabbinic Literature: A Legend Reinvented , Amram Tropper investigates the rabbinic traditions about Simeon the Righteous, a renowned Jewish leader of Second Temple times. Tropper not only interprets these traditions from a literary perspective but also deploys a relatively new critical approach towards rabbinic literature with which he explores the formation history of the traditions. With the help of this approach, Tropper seeks to uncover the literary and cultural matrices, both rabbinic and Graeco-Roman, which supplied the raw materials and literary inspiration to the rabbinic authors and editors of the traditions. Tropper?s analysis reveals that in reinventing the legend of Simeon the Righteous, the rabbis constructed the Second Temple past in the image of their own present. 410 0$aAncient Judaism and early Christianity ;$vv. 84. 606 $aRabbinical literature$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aRabbinical literature$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a296.1/20092 700 $aTropper$b Amram D$01519652 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779578503321 996 $aSimeon the Righteous in rabbinic literature$93757883 997 $aUNINA
