Andrzej Niemojewski (24 January 1864 – 3 November 1921) was a Polish social and political activist, poet, rationalist and writer of the Young Poland period.
The book was translated in 1996 as God Jesus: The Sun, Moon and Stars as Background to the Gospel Stories (1910).
The sayings are co-opted from Jewish common sources and stuffed into the mouth of the alleged master Jesus.
Falsely so-called proofs about the human Jesus, like Flavius Josephus, are easily dismissed as chatty hearsays or interpolations.
The Tanakh and Talmud are already full of astral mythological images, like the 12 Jewish tribes and sons of Jacob.
In the end, Niemojewski's system was too confusing to get much consideration, when compared to simpler astral mythical interpretations.
In that case the (weeping) women at the cross are represented by the Pleiades (the “rainsisters”), one of which bears the name of Maja (Maria).
The Pleiades also are hair-dressers (megaddela), as they are represented in medieval manuscripts on the basis of an old tradition,[7] and they culminate when Berenice's Hair rises above the eastern horizon.
