In this study of the Jews who lived in Hellenistic Egypt, `between Athens and Jerusalem,` John J. Collins examines the literature of Hellenistic Jerusalem, treating not only the introductory questions of date, authorship, and provenance but also the larger question of Jewish identity in the Greco-Roman world. First published in 1984, this study is now revised and updated to take into account the best of recent scholarship.`</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">John J.
