In Jewish studies this burgeoning research on ancient prayer has been stimulated particularly by the many new prayer texts found at Qumran, which have shed new light on several long-standing problems. The present volume intends to make a new contribution to the ongoing scholarly debate on ancient Jewish prayer texts by focusing on a limited set of prayer texts, scil. , a small number of those that have been preserved only in Greek. Jewish prayers in Greek tend to be undervalued, which is regrettable because these prayers shed light on sometimes striking aspects of early Jewish spirituality in the centuries around the turn of the era. In this volume twelve such prayers have been collected, translated, and provided with an extensive historical and philological commentary. They have been preserved on papyrus, on stone, and as part of Christian church orders into which some of them have been incorporated in a christianized from. For that reason these prayers are of great interest to scholars of both early Judaism and ancient Christianity. 410 0$aCommentaries on early Jewish literature. 606 $aJudaism$xLiturgy$xTexts$xHistory and criticism 606 $aGreek literature$xJewish authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aJudaism$vPrayers and devotions$xHistory and criticism 606 $aJudaism$xHistory$yPost-exilic period, 586 B.C.-210 A.D 606 $aPrayer$xJudaism 606 $aJews$xCivilization$xGreek influences 610 $aJewish Prayers. 610 $aJewish Spirituality. 610 $aPrayer. 615 0$aJudaism$xLiturgy$xTexts$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aGreek literature$xJewish authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aJudaism$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aJudaism$xHistory 615 0$aPrayer$xJudaism. 615 0$aJews$xCivilization$xGreek influences. 676 $a296.45 700 $aHorst$b Pieter Willem van der$0439944 701 $aNewman$b Judith H$g(Judith Hood),$f1961-$01652749 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910809453803321 996 $aEarly Jewish prayers in Greek$94034696 997 $aUNINA
