Descrição

Robert Garnier’s “Les Juifves” (1583) is generally considered to be the crown jewel of the French Renaissance stage. At the close of his prefatory “Argument” to the play, Garnier obligingly furnishes the historical sources from which he has taken the story of the sufferings of Zedekiah and his family. However, the bibliographic information which the tragedian supplies in his “Argument” contains at least one error with respect to the Bible, and a second error pertaining to Flavius Josephus’s “Jewish Antiquities” is more than likely as well.
