Description

This volume provides a critical introduction to Hellenistic Jewish Literature. It offers serious students and scholars with an overview of the scholarly issues for each work (covering issues such as date, provenance, language, content, style, reception, contribution to ancient Judaism, etc.) as well as important information about critical editions, manuscripts, and secondary scholarship, serving as a clear starting point for anyone who is interested in this corpus of literature.

The volume begins with a set of thematic essays, providing orientation for the reader and examining core general issues such as language, geography and identity. The core of the volume provides overviews of the scholarly issues surrounding texts. Each entry provides readers with the core information necessary to study the text in depth and to understand its impact upon our understanding of Hellenistic Judaism and its later reception.

I've mentioned this one already as forthcoming, but it deserves a post of its own.
