- W162518421 abstract "Jethro's advice to Moses about how to organize the political system of the ancient Jewish state (Ex. 18:13-27; Deut. 1:12-17) was one of the three major biblical sources which were used in medieval and early modern political thought. (The other sources are Deut. 17 and I Samuel 8.) This text was mainly used in two related contexts ? the theory of government, in which the commentators generally followed Aristotle, and the relationship between the spiritual and temporal authorities ? between kingship and prophecy ? in which a strong Platonic-Alfarabian influence is apparent. This study takes into account the changing historical realities and intellectual trends of the medieval and early modern periods. It opens with Abraham Ibn Ezra's pro-monarchic attack on feudalism in the twelfth century, continues with the discussion of the interpretations to Jethro's advice by Aquinas, Abravanel, Dei Pomis, Alemanno, Calvin, Bodin and others, and culminates with James Harrington's republicanism in the mid seventeenth century. I The exegete and the historian always interpret past events through their own eyes. They interpret these events from the view point of current historical problems and philosophies. This is true to day; it was all the more so in the Middle Ages, when thinkers never hesitated to give past events meanings directly relevant to their own period. This was sometimes done in a way that might seem totally un critical to the modern mind. Only with the Renaissance did a more critical, approach to both textual criticism and historical events gradually begin to emerge. This phenomenon stands out clearly in all the scientific and philo sophic fields to which medieval biblical interpretation was related. This is particularly true in the field of political thought, which more than any other branch of philosophy is related to and influenced by current historical events. The phenomenon of viewing the past in terms of the present was fully consistent with the overall view of medieval biblical exegesis.
