Abstract

2 Maccabees is a Jewish work composed during the 2nd century BCE and preserved by the Church.

The history of the High Priesthood is analysed on the basis of conflicting documents, starting from the question of power and the autonomy of the high priests under the rule of the Ptolemies and the Seleucids. However, the historical reconstruction is strongly determined by the political ideology and theological vision of the available sources on this subject
