 In his introduction, Momigliano sets out early to stake a claim on the perimeters of his inquiry
Momigliano attempted "as a provisional attempt to reassess the value of ancient historiography in the light of the twentieth-century revolution in history writing." This aim is reflected in all the six chapters of the book.
Momigliano amply showed by his writing his disdain for generalization and his penchant for concrete evidences, which were ‘summary- defying erudite discussions’.
Momigliano’s erudition was sophisticated enough for him to use obscure facts in the manner of anecdotes.

Momigliano demonstrates that while Josephus, in his Against Apion, defended Judaism from heteronomous systems of thought, he gave short shrift to its more communal and religious, as opposed to strictly legal, aspects.
While his prose is consistently clear and informative, it is sometimes difficult because of the considerable background knowledge he assumes.

 Berkeley Book List: Classical History
Hence, I am drawn to books that cross geographical divides and encompass the interchange and overlap of peoples and nations.
Arnaldo Momigliano's Alien Wisdom: The Limits of Hellenization is a classic discussion of Greek perceptions of a range of peoples who they encountered and with whom they engaged, including Celts, Jews, Romans, and Iranians.
Very learned and yet very readable, the book brilliantly shows the complex ways in which Greeks — though they took a keen interest in other cultures — invariably conceived (and distorted) them through their own Hellenic lenses.

 The Cranky Professor: Arnaldo Momigliano and me
I'm trying to make all my reading right now do double duty - and since I'm teach 3 chronologically neighboring courses next semester that's not difficult.
I just packed a book of Arnaldo Momigliano reprints for the trip down to DC - On Pagans, Jews, and Christians (1987 - most of these are articles from the last 15 years of his life).
He was always good on history and historiography - and what he has to say about Judaism in the Roman Empire is useful to me for both the Roman Art & Power course and early Christian (which I call First Christian Millennium - up to but not emphasizing Romanesque).
