| description | This article analyzes the scholarly work of Italian historian Arnaldo Momigliano, particularly his approach to cultural interaction during the Hellenistic period (323-30 BC). It asserts that Momigliano’s interpretations about the period were largely marked by his strong Jewish identity. This is particularly true considering that the book Alien Wisdom: the limits of Hellenization (1975) – his major work on the subject - was published in the wake of the then recent attacks by Syria and Egypt against Israel. The article seeks, thus, to discuss Momigliano’s views by demonstrating how this historian’s work was tributary of his political and identity scene. |

It asserts that Momigliano’s interpretations about the period were largely marked by his strong Jewish identity. This is particularly true considering that the book Alien Wisdom: the limits of Hellenization (1975) – his major work on the subject - was published in the wake of the then recent attacks by Syria and Egypt against Israel. The article seeks, thus, to discuss Momigliano’s views by demonstrating how this historian’s work was tributary of his political and identity scene. Neste artigo busca-se analisar a obra do historiador italiano Arnaldo Momigliano (1908-1987), em particular no que se refere à abordagem dada por ele às interações culturais durante o período helenístico (323-30 a. C.). Será argumentado que as interpretações de Momigliano sobre o referido período estavam, em grande medida, marcadas por sua forte identidade judaica, ainda mais pelo fato de Os Limites da Helenização (Alien Wisdom: The Limits of Hellenization [1975]) – sua principal obra sobre o assunto – ter sido publicada sob os ecos dos ataques da Síria e do Egito ao Estado de Israel. Desse modo, busca-se problematizar a produção de Momigliano, demonstrado como o cenário político e identitário influiu no trabalho do historiador.
