Against Apion 1:8 also defines which books he viewed as being in the Jewish Scriptures:
“ For we have not an innumerable multitude of books among us, disagreeing from and contradicting one another, [as the Greeks have,] but only twenty-two books, (8) which contain the records of all the past times; which are justly believed to be divine; and of them five belong to Moses, which contain his laws and the traditions of the origin of mankind till his death. This interval of time was little short of three thousand years; but as to the time from the death of Moses till the reign of Artaxerxes king of Persia, who reigned after Xerxes, the prophets, who were after Moses, wrote down what was done in their times in thirteen books. The remaining four books contain hymns to God, and precepts for the conduct of human life. It is true, our history hath been written since Artaxerxes very particularly, but hath not been esteemed of the like authority with the former by our forefathers, because there hath not been an exact succession of prophets since that time; and how firmly we have given credit to these books of our own nation is evident by what we do; for during so many ages as have already passed, no one has been so bold as either to add any thing to them, to take any thing from them, or to make any change in them; but it is become natural to all Jews immediately, and from their very birth, to esteem these books to contain Divine doctrines, and to persist in them, and, if occasion be willingly to die for them.

Crowd

is to multiply

In modern times the notion of multitude promoted mainly by Spinoza , differed from the distinction of " people "and" crowd "promoted by Hobbes and prevailing today. The basic difference is that under the distinction of all citizens Hobbes is simplified as a single body unit with a single will (be a mere crowd , mass or crowd or meet the requirements to be considered as people ), while the concept of the multitude refuses that unit retaining its multiple nature.

In the second half of the twentieth century , the concept was revived in variations of anti-capitalist libertarian thinkers recently popularized within the call operaismo Italian. This concept refers to those social sectors that resisted and resists the creation and advancement of modernity based on the figure of the nation state .
