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. L'E?cole Pratique des Hautes E?tudes has kindly contributed to the publication of this volume.". 410 0$aCambridge Semitic languages and cultures. 517 $aDiversity and Rabbinization 606 $aHebrew literature, Medieval 606 $aRabbinical literature 615 0$aHebrew literature, Medieval. 615 0$aRabbinical literature. 676 $a296.1 700 $aMcDowell$b Gavin$01354959 702 $aBen Ezra$b Daniel Sto?kl 702 $aNaiweld$b Ron 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910476754103321 996 $aDiversity and Rabbinization$93364397 997 $aUNINA
