Overview

The "rediscovery" of Josephus, now also in the original Greek texts, produced a large amount of new editions and translations. Scholarly work inspired by Josephus added new dramatic details to the characters (also known from the Bible) of the Maccabees, Herod the Great (and Mariamne), and Herod Antipas (Herodias, Salome, and John the Baptist), who experienced and unprecedented fortune in literature and the arts.

In 1548, Paul Eber, Professor of Old Testament at Wittenberg, was the first to write a history of the Second Temple period in modern times, following the model of Josephus. In the 1580s, Corneille Bonaventure Bertram and Carlo Sigonio offered a first reconstruction of Jewish political and religious institutions in post-biblical times.

The interest in Second Temple Studies also penetrated Jewish culture. Zacuto's Chronicle covered the Second Temple period. Samuel Usque devoted a long chapter of his work to the destruction of the Second Temple. Above all, Azariah de' Rossi was the first modern Jewish scholar to focus on Second Temple Judaism, its history, archaeology and literature (especially Aristeas, Philo and Josephus), and to use non-Jewish sources (secular and Christian) to supplement or check the data in Talmudic literature.
