Idumea and the Idumeans
An Oriental Ethnos at the Crossroads of Levantine Cultures in Hellenistic and Roman Times
By (author) Michał Marciak Series edited by Martin Ebner Series edited by Peter Lampe Series edited by Heidrun Elisabeth Mader Series edited by Stefan Schreiber Series edited by Jürgen Zangenberg
The first monograph ever about ancient Idumea and the Idumeans
The novelty of this book concerns the uniqueness of the topic, its chronological scope and thematic range. Thus far, many publications about Idumeans were very limited in chronological scope and thematic range. They have also relied mainly on materials from their own expertise (ancient history being represented especially by A. Kasher and N. Kokkinos, and archaeology by A. Kloner and I. Stern). In contrast, Michał Marciak in his book presents the first-ever comprehensive treatment of history and culture of Idumea and Idumeans from its beginnings to the early Roman Period. He deals with both literary and documentary evidence and the latest archaeological data. Marciaks conclusions are of relevance to scholars interested in both the ethnic and cultural diversity of ancient Palestine and the Jewish identity in the Second Temple Period.
Michał Marciak received his PhD from Leiden University in 2012. He holds an MA in History (majoring in Jewish Studies) from the Jagiellonian University in Krakow (2007), an MA in Theology (majoring in Biblical Studies) from the Pontifical Academy of Theology in Krakow (2007), and a postgraduate degree in GIS from the AGH University of Science and Technology in Kraków (2017). In 2021, he was appointed Associate Professor at Jagiellonian University. Professor Marciak has gained fieldwork experience in southeastern Turkey, Kurdish Iraq, Israel and Jordan. He has been a visiting scholar at a number of foreign universities. His portfolio includes research grants and scholarships from both Polish and international research institutions. He has also served as Chairman of the Scientific Council of the Institute of Jewish Studies, JU (2020–2028) and Chairman of the Revision Committee of the Polish Association of Jewish Studies (2018–2022).
