Since then, much has been written about this category of texts. Today some researchers are tired of discussing this concept, suggesting even a move away from the notion. Others, on the contrary, apply it to an increasing number of texts, including even works lying outside the specific context of late Second Temple Jewish literature. This article discusses the phenomenon of the “Rewritten Bible” (RewB) and takes up a polemic with certain approaches to the category, concerning terminology, scope, and character, as well as indication of the purposes of rewriting activity. The article shows that the category remains useful and important, within certain methodological clarifications.enCC-BY-ND - Uznanie autorstwa - Bez utworów zależnychRewritten Bible categoryRewritten ScriptureBook of Jubileesantiquities of the JewsGenesis Apocryphon4QReworked PentateuchJudaismSecond Temple JudaismSecond Temple periodDead Sea ScrollsmanuscriptsQumran manuscriptsarchaeologybiblical archaeologybiblical studiesBibleDead Sea discoveriesQumran documentsphilologybiblical philologyapocryphaOld Testament apocryphaapocryphal literatureBook of GenesisPentateuchkategoria „przepisanej Biblii”przepisane Pismo ŚwięteKsięga Jubileuszówstarożytności żydowskieapokryf Księgi Rodzajuprzerobiony Pięcioksiąg 4Qjudaizmjudaizm okresu Drugiej Świątyniokres Drugiej Świątynizwoje znad Morza Martwegorękopisymanuskryptyrękopisy z QumranQumranarcheologiaarcheologia biblijnabiblistykaBibliaPismo Święteodkrycia nad Morzem Martwymdokumenty z Qumranfilologiafilologia biblijnaapokryfapokryfy Starego Testamentuliteratura apokryficznaKsięga RodzajuPięcioksiągThe Phenomenon of Rewriting Scripture in Late Second Temple Judaism: Some Methodological Reflections on the So-Called “Rewritten Bible” CategoryArticle
