Drawing on available textual and material evidence, the fourteen essays presented here, written by leading experts in their fields, span a significant chronological and geographical range and cover material that has not yet received sufficient attention in scholarship. The volume is divided into four parts. The first focuses on the vantage point of the synagogue; the second and third on non-rabbinic Judaism in, respectively, the Near East and Europe; the final part turns from diversity within Judaism to the process of ”rabbinization” as represented in some unusual rabbinic texts. Diversity and Rabbinization is a welcome contribution to the historical study of Judaism in all its complexity. It presents fresh perspectives on critical questions and allows us to rethink the tension between multiplicity and unity in Judaism during the first millennium CE.LinguisticsLate AntiquityJewish communitiesLiterature, Language and Culturecultural diversityEarly Middle Agerabbisreligious diversityLinguisticsLate AntiquityJewish communitiesLiterature, Language and Culturecultural diversityEarly Middle Agerabbisreligious diversityBen Ezra Daniel Stökl1354952Boustan Ra‘anan1354953Brody Robert1207873Costa José1354954Erder Yoram1354955Herman Geoffrey1354956Julien Robin Christian1354957Lacerenza Giancarlo268743Levine Lee I1354958McDowell Gavin1354959Naiweld Ron1324679Nemo-Pekelman Capucine984400Stemberger Günter162394Stökl Ben Ezra Daniel1354960Swartz Michael D1354961Toch Michael1154383Stökl Ben Ezra Daniel1354962FR-FrMaCLEBOOK9910498503903321Diversity and Rabbinization3358860UNINA
