Three Mirrors for Two Biblical Ladies. The Queen of Sheba and Susanna in the Eyes of Jews, Christians, and Muslims (Replica Books)
Fabrizio Pennacchietti
This series explores biblical literature as a product and a reflection
of the world in which it was produced. In addition to studies that
take an historical approach, monographs and edited collections also
examine the biblical text from alternative perspectives, including
social-scientific, theological, literary, and cultural studies
approaches.The biblical episode relating the encounter of the Queen of Sheba with Solomon and the apocryphal tale of Susanna, a Jewish woman slanderously accused of adultery by two judges and saved by Daniel, have become part of the collective imagination in West and East. These two Old Testament women have been adapted in art throughout time and space to meet the changing cultural horizons of the community. Like mirrors, various periods and modes of late-Ancient and medieval Judaism, Christianity and Islam have each, in their own way, reflected the characteristics of the great Queen and the chaste Susanna.
