The final form of the book of Jubilees is commonly dated to the Hellenistic period. It may come as no surprise, therefore, that various parallels between Jubilees and Greek scholarship have been discovered. Yet scholars remain divided on Jubilees’ attitude towards Greek culture. In this article, I argue that Jubilees is fully conversant with global intellectual developments in the Hellenistic period and exhibits a type of encyclopaedic rhetoric similar to non-Jewish scholarly writings from this period. At the same time, Jubilees exhibits a local outlook, as it emphasises the timelessness and distinctiveness of the Jewish nation and its laws. Hence, the book must be understood as a “glocal” work, in which global and local trends merge and are intricately intertwined.

银禧和希腊文百科全书

《禧年》的最终形式通常可追溯至希腊时代。因此，禧年和希腊学者之间的各种相似之处可能就不足为奇了。然而，学者们对禧年人对希腊文化的态度仍存分歧。在本文中，我认为禧年充分理解了希腊化时期的全球知识发展，并且展现出一种类似于该时期非犹太学者著作的百科全书修辞。同时，禧年彰显了犹太民族及其法律的永恒性和独特性，因此具有地方性。因此，这本书必须被理解为“全球性”的著作，其中全球性和地方性趋势融合并错综复杂地交织在一起。
