| Summary: | The book 3 Maccabees, as is well known, has nothing to do with the story of the Maccabees; its name may derive from its position in some sources after 1 and 2 Maccabees, and from its theme of Jewish deliverance from Hellenistic tyranny. This book has been the subject of much scholarly work in the last half century. The best study remains that of Moses Hadas, published 1953; more recent commentaries include those of H. Anderson (1985), J. J. Collins (1993), D. A. de Silva (2000), and now N. C. Croy., Croy works from the Greek text of Codex Alexandrinus obtained by back formation from the critical texts of Rahlfs (Septuaginta I, 1935, but dated as 1979 by Croy, p. xxi, with no reference in his bibliography) and R. Hanhart (1980). Croy checked his resultant text against T. C. |
