The categories of Jewish historiography of the Second Temple Period frame how scholars and their students approach crucial texts of this era and therefore shape our understanding of history. Yet, these categories are fraught with difficulties. This article explores this issue by examining Daniel R. Schwartz’s categorization of Second Temple historiography as either Palestinian or diasporan works. While these categories provide interesting insights, they also leave far too many exceptions. This article demonstrates that such efforts of categorization warp our understanding of Second Temple historiography. Rather than categorize Second Temple historiography I suggest that each work ought to be considered from the point of view of its author’s aims.

将方钉装配到圆孔中:对第二圣殿时期的犹太史学著作进行分类

第二圣殿时期的犹太史学类别构成了学者和学生如何接近该时代的重要文献,从而塑造了我们对历史的理解。然而,这些类别充满困难。本文通过研究丹尼尔·R·施瓦茨对第二圣殿史学的归类来探讨这一问题,无论是巴勒斯坦人还是侨民的作品。尽管这些类别提供了有趣的见解,但它们也留下了太多例外。本文表明,这种分类努力使我们对第二圣殿史学的理解发生了变化。我建议不要对第二圣殿的史学进行分类,而应该从作者的目的出发考虑每件作品。
