From major seminal works like the Mishnah or the Palestinian and
Babylonian Talmuds, to Biblical commentaries, translations of
Biblical books into Aramaic or relatively little-known mystical,
liturgical or apocalyptic writings, here is a complete guide to the
rich tradition of Jewish literature in the second to seventh
centuries of the Common Era. Each work is described in a succinct
and clearly structured entry which covers its contents, dating,
language and accessibility (or otherwise) in print or online. The
aim throughout is to cover all of this literature and to answer the
following questions. What Jewish literature, written either in
Hebrew or Aramaic, has survived? What different genres of such
literature are there? What printed texts, or translations into any
modern language, or commentaries (either in Hebrew or a European
language) are there? And, for those who want to enquire further,
what are the manuscripts on which modern editions are based? This
handbook will be of value to scholars and students of Jewish
Studies and historians of Late Antiquity, as well as scholars in
neighbouring disciplines, such as Near Eastern history or Theology.
