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. 606 $aLinguistics 606 $aLate Antiquity 606 $aJewish communities 606 $aLiterature, Language and Culture 606 $acultural diversity 606 $aEarly Middle Age 606 $arabbis 606 $areligious diversity 615 4$aLinguistics 615 4$aLate Antiquity 615 4$aJewish communities 615 4$aLiterature, Language and Culture 615 4$acultural diversity 615 4$aEarly Middle Age 615 4$arabbis 615 4$areligious diversity 700 $aBen Ezra$b Daniel Stökl$01354952 701 $aBoustan$b Ra?anan$01354953 701 $aBrody$b Robert$01207873 701 $aCosta$b José$01354954 701 $aErder$b Yoram$01354955 701 $aHerman$b Geoffrey$01354956 701 $aJulien Robin$b Christian$01354957 701 $aLacerenza$b Giancarlo$0268743 701 $aLevine$b Lee I$01354958 701 $aMcDowell$b Gavin$01354959 701 $aNaiweld$b Ron$01324679 701 $aNemo-Pekelman$b Capucine$0984400 701 $aStemberger$b Günter$0162394 701 $aStökl Ben Ezra$b Daniel$01354960 701 $aSwartz$b Michael D$01354961 701 $aToch$b Michael$01154383 701 $aStökl Ben Ezra$b Daniel$01354962 801 0$bFR-FrMaCLE 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910498503903321 996 $aDiversity and Rabbinization$93358860 997 $aUNINA
