The book is concerned with a so called ethical midrash, Seder
Eliyahu (also known as Tanna debe Eliyahu), a post-talmudic work
probably composed in the ninth century. It provides a survey of the
research on this late midrash followed by five studies of different
aspects related to what is designated as the work's narratology.
These include a discussion of the problem of the apparent
pseudo-epigraphy of the work and of the multiple voices of the
text; a description of the various narrative types which the work,
itself as a whole of non-narrative character, makes use of; a
detailed treatment of Seder Eliyahu's parables and most
characteristic first person narratives (an extremely unusual form
of narrative discourse in rabbinic literature); as well as a final
chapter dedicated to selected women stories in this late midrash.
As it emerges from the survey in chapter 1 such a narratologically
informed study of Seder Eliyahu represents a new approach in the
research on a work that is clearly the product of a time of
transition in Jewish literature.
