| Summary: | This volume introduces students of rabbinic literature to the range of historical and interpretative questions surrounding the rabbinic texts of late antiquity. The editors, themselves well-known interpreters of Rabbinic literature, have gathered an international collection of scholars to support students' initial steps in confronting the enormous and complex rabbinic corpus. Unlike other introductions to Rabbinic writings, the present volume includes approaches shaped by anthropology, gender studies, oral-traditional studies, classics, and folklore studies. Rabbinic authorship as a collective enterprise / Martin S. Jaffee -- The orality of rabbinic writing / Elizabeth Shanks Alexander -- Social and institutional settings of rabbinic literature / Jeffrey L. Rubenstein -- The political geography of rabbinic texts / Seth Schwartz -- Rabbinic midrash and ancient Jewish biblical interpretation / Steven D. Fraade -- The Judaean legal tradition and the halakhah of the Mishnah / Shaye J.D. Cohen -- Roman law and rabbinic legal composition / Catherine Hezser -- Middle Persian culture and Babylonian sages : accommodation and resistance in the shaping of rabbinic legal tradition / Yaakov Elman -- Jewish visionary tradition in rabbinic literature / Michael D. Swartz -- An almost invisible presence : multilingual puns in rabbinic literature / Galit Hasan-Rokem -- The "other" in rabbinic literature / Christine Hayes -- Regulating the human body : rabbinic legal discourse and the making of Jewish gender / Charlotte Elisheva Fonrobert -- Rabbinic historiography and representations of the past / Isaiah Gafni -- Rabbinical ethical formation and the formation of rabbinic ethical compilations / Jonathan Wyn Schofer -- Hellenism in Jewish Babylonia / Daniel Boyarin |
