This is a fine piece of work that will surely contribute to the growing field of Josephan studies already flourishing with the publication of Brill's commentary series. The volume is replete with up-to-date, even-handed scholarship. It should prove a valuable resource for those working in Josephus's War, not only for research on Sicarii but also for a concise, readable, and thorough treatment of scholarship on important areas of Josephan studies.
This book offers a comprehensive study of the Sicarii in Josephus's Judean War. Detailed rhetorical analyses are provided not only for the Masada narrative, where Josephus tells how the Sicarii famously committed suicide, but also for all other places in War where their activities are described or must be inferred from the context. The study shows how Josephus adopted the Sicarii in his narrative to develop and bring to a resolution several major themes in War. In a departure from the classical proposal that the Sicarii were an armed and fanatical off-shoot of the Zealots, this work concludes that from a historical perspective, Sicarii was a somewhat fluid term used to describe Jews of the Judean revolt who were associated with acts of violence against their own people for religious/political ends.
