Since then, many more Aramaic deeds of conveyance both from Elephantine and from elsewhere have been published, especially within the last decade or so. With this expanded text base now available, the time is ripe for a comprehensive re-assessment of these legal formularies. This book endeavors to show that these disparate Aramaic documents, whose chronological scope spans several centuries, form a discrete and coherent tradition. It isolates and identifies the distinctive elements that form the core of this tradition and traces the histories of these elements back through the cuneiform record.Supplements to the Journal for the study of Judaism ;v. 128.LawMiddle EastHistorySourcesLawEgyptElephantineHistorySourcesManuscripts, Aramaic (Papyri)EgyptElephantineLaw, AncientSourcesJewish lawSourcesElectronic books.LawHistoryLawHistoryManuscripts, Aramaic (Papyri)Law, AncientJewish law349.56Gross Andrew D898884MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910458927503321Continuity and innovation in the Aramaic legal tradition2008277UNINA
