Daniel R. Schwartz is the Herbst Family Professor emeritus of Judaic Studies at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, where he specializes in Jewish history and historiography of the Greco-Roman period. Among his books: Agrippa I (1990), Studies in the Jewish Background of Christianity (1992), Reading the First Century (2013), Judeans and Jews (2014), and commentaries on 1 and 2 Maccabees and on some of Josephus’s works. Frequently, however, his work on antiquity has led him to grapple with issues in modern historiography on antiquity. Among the results of such work are his monograph on Philiipp Jaffé (De Gruyter 2017) and the studies collected in this volume.
