The article "Historiolae in the Hebrew Bible" argues that certain biblical texts can be considered as Historiolae. Historiolae are performative texts that bring the power of storytelling and its characters into the present. The author demonstrates that various biblical texts, such as the victory over Leviathan and the miracles during the conquest of Canaan, function as Historiolae. These texts from ancient Israel between the 8th and 2nd centuries BCE exhibit features of Historiolen, which resolve mythological events narratively and emphasize ritual contexts.
