Abstract
Since its initial publication in 1984, the so - called Epistula Anne ad Senecam was believed to be a rare (possibly the only) instance of a Jewish prose text composed in Latin. Several studies analyzed the Epistula as a work of third - or fourth - century Jewish apologetic s , meant to show the superiority of Jewish monotheism to philosophical speculations and pagan cult practices. Subsequent to this initial phase of investigation, a series of scholars raised doubts about identifying the text as a Jewish work. In 2001, the major edition and commentary of Rainer Jakobi made a sustained case that the Epistula is in fact a product of fifth - century Christianity. Subsequent scholars have treated Jakobi's arguments as conclusive. The present article summ arizes the debate and proposes a new way of thinking about the Epistula's origin
