This is a study of the interrelationships between the formulary
traditions of the legal documents of the Jewish colony of
Elephantine and the legal formulary traditions of their Egyptian
counterparts.
The legal documents of Elephantine have been approached in three
different ways thus far: first, comparing them to the later Aramaic
legal tradition; second, as part of a self-contained system, and
more recently from the point of view of the Assyriological legal
tradition. However, there is still a fourth possible approach,
which has long been neglected by scholars in this field, and that
is to study the Elephantine legal documents from an Egyptological
perspective. In seeking the Egyptian parallels and antecedents to
the Aramaic formulary, Botta hopes to balance the current scholarly
perspective, based mostly upon Aramaic and Assyriological
comparative studies.
