Even though recognized as the earliest Jewish work dealing with the Ottoman Empire, the Seder Eliyyahu Zuṭa still remains inaccessible to those who do not know Hebrew. The SEZ is a very complex work and it is not possible to classify it as a single genre. It is a work that could be studied from many points of view: historical, literary, theological and religious. My present aim is to offer some interesting fragments preserved in chapter XIIIth and XIVth of the Seder in order to demonstrate that much of the chronicle preserves material which is clearly legendary and rich of messianic significance. The texts will be examined in detail by comparing Greek and Hebrew sources.

Abstract
Even though recognized as the earliest Jewish work dealing with the Ottoman Empire, the Seder Eliyyahu Zuṭa still remains inaccessible to those who do not know Hebrew. The SEZ is a very complex work and it is not possible to classify it as a single genre. It is a work that could be studied from many points of view: historical, literary, theological and religious. My present aim is to offer some interesting fragments preserved in chapter XIIIth and XIVth of the Seder in order to demonstrate that much of the chronicle preserves material which is clearly legendary and rich of messianic significance. The texts will be examined in detail by comparing Greek and Hebrew sources.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
