The Machabees, also known as the Maccabees or Macabees, were a group of Jewish warriors who fought against oppression during the time of the Seleucides, and are depicted in various illustrations and performances throughout history. In the Bible of Royaumont's Old Testament, there is an illustration from 1811 depicting the martyrdom of the seven Maccabees brothers. These brave individuals chose to die rather than betray their faith. Their sacrifice serves as a powerful reminder of unwavering devotion. Another illustration from the same Bible showcases Matathias, father of the Machabees, killing a Jew who sacrificed to idols out of zealous adherence to God's law. This act highlights his commitment to preserving Jewish traditions and values. Judas Macchabee, also known as Judas Maccabee or Macabee, was one of the prominent leaders in this revolt against oppression. He earned himself a nickname "the hammer" due to his fierce determination and success on the battlefield. His triumphs are celebrated for liberating Jews from oppressive rule. Jonathas (Jonathan), another figure mentioned in these biblical accounts, is portrayed as a pontiff in one depiction from 1508-11. This suggests that he held significant religious authority within his community during this tumultuous period. Eleazar Macchabee fought alongside his fellow Jews against oppression with great valor and bravery. His contribution played an essential role in their struggle for freedom and justice. Tragically, Judas Macchabee met his demise during this revolt against tyranny. The death scene depicts him falling while fighting for what he believed in—a poignant reminder that even heroes face sacrifices on their path towards liberation. Simon Machabee is shown as a pontiff in another illustration from Royaumont's Bible—an indication that he too carried forward religious leadership after his brother's passing.
