As our only direct epigraphic witnesses to the Hebrew Bible from late antique Babylonia, the bowls are uniquely placed to contribute to research on the (oral) transmission of the biblical text in late antiquity; the pre-Masoretic Babylonian vocalisation tradition; the formation of the liturgy and the early development of the Jewish prayer book; the social locations of biblical knowledge in late antique Babylonia and socio-religious typologies of the bowls; and the dynamics of scriptural citation in ancient Jewish magic. In a number of cases, the bowls also contain the earliest attestations of biblical verses not found in the Dead Sea Scrolls. Pre-dating the next available evidence by four to five centuries, the bowls are a valuable resource for biblical text critics. By making these valuable witnesses to the Hebrew Bible easily available to scholars, The Bible in the Bowls is designed to facilitate further research by linguists, liturgists, biblical text critics, and students of Jewish magic. It collates and transcribes each biblical verse as it appears in the published bowls, furnishes details of the bowls' publication, and notes various features of interest. The catalogue is also accompanied by an accessible introduction that briefly introduces the incantation bowls, surveys their deployment of scripture in light of their magical goals, and discusses the orthography of the quotations and what this can tell us about the encounter with the biblical text in late antique Babylonia. 410 0$aCambridge Semitic languages and cultures ;$vno. 16. 606 $aIncantations, Aramaic 606 $aIncantation bowls 615 0$aIncantations, Aramaic. 615 0$aIncantation bowls. 676 $a492.2 700 $aWaller$b Daniel James$01357784 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910632877303321 996 $aThe Bible in the bowls$93364473 997 $aUNINA LEADER 10799nam 2200541 450 001 9910816302103321 005 20231021084538.0 010 $a1-64105-333-X 035 $a(CKB)4100000011990051 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC6683369 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL6683369 035 $a(OCoLC)1262373575 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC7293396 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL7293396 035 $a(EXLCZ)994100000011990051 100 $a20231021d2019 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aContract Drafting $ePowerful Prose in Transactional Practice /$fLenne Eidson Espenschied 205 $aThird edition. 210 1$aChicago, Illinois :$cAmerican Bar Association,$d[2019] 210 4$dİ2019 215 $a1 online resource (373 pages) 300 $aIncludes index. 311 $a1-64105-332-1 327 $aIntro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Table of Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Preface -- Preface to 2nd Edition -- Preface to 3rd Edition -- Chapter 1: Introduction to Contract Drafting -- Introduction -- What Is Drafting?
