Sulla superiorità dei Greci o degli Ebrei: una polemica di fine Settecento

Abstract

This paper reviews the main features of the ancient dispute concerning the cultural role of the Greeks in comparison with the Jews, with particular attention to the Greek responses on the eve of the revolution of 1821. The debate reveals a strong awareness of the Greeks’ past and a sense of continuity with the present, while also highlighting the circulation of contemporary knowledge, texts, and ideas.
