==Date, original language and themes==
Due to the ''[[Vaticinium ex eventu|vaticinia ex eventu]]'', most scholars date the work to the early 1st century CEAD, contemporary with the latest historical figures it describes. Some others,<ref>for example J. Licht ''Taxo, or the Apocalyptic Doctrine of Venegance'' JJS 12 p. 95-103 (1961) or G. Nickelsburg</ref> however, do date it to the previous century and suggest that the 1st-century references in chapters six and ten were later insertions.
