Abstract
This chapter studies two very anti-Jewish passages which are linked to Posidonius, showing that they severely criticize Moses and the laws which he established for the Jews. These passages also serve as a record for the three most humiliating libels made against the Jews during the ancient world, namely the blood libel, the ass libel, and the leper libel. The first section summarizes the content of the libels as they are reported by Josephus. Next, it studies Posidonius's attitude toward the accusations and the libels, and pinpoints the original location of his Jewish excursus. The chapter then considers the contents and structure of the advice of the “friends” as stated in Diodorus and the omission of the blood libel.
