Texte latin avec traduction anglaise en regard. Introduction et notes en anglais
Manetti's Latin treatise Adversus Iudaeos et Gentes (Against the Jews and Gentiles)
offers a polemical defense of the Christian religion. This volume, which includes
the first four books, surveys human history from the Creation to the life, teaching,
and resurrection of Christ. Book I begins with the creation and fall of man in the
Biblical account. There follows a long digression adversus gentes (the Gentiles, i.e.,
pagans), which reviews central points of ancient Greek and Roman philosophy and religion,
and censures the ancients for their senseless doctrines and bloody rites. Manetti
then returns to the Jews, whose beliefs and practices are praised from Abraham to
Moses. During their centuries of "true" piety, Manetti calls the chosen people "Hebrews."
But from the time of the Exodus onwards, he censures them as "Jews" because they observe
the absurd and cruel practices of Pentateuchal legislation, which he views as analogous
to pagan rites. Manetti stresses several themes in Jewish history: the early development
of the concept of righteousness, the Exodus, the Mosaic Law and its inadequacy--thus
providing a "preparation for the Gospel" in Eusebius' sense. The next three books
provide a synoptic biography of Jesus in three stages. Book II describes the life
of Christ up to the raising of Lazarus; Book III relates his teaching, and Book IV
offers an account of Christ's passion, death, and resurrection.
