Hannah M Cotton's collected papers focus on questions which have
fascinated her for over four decades: the concrete relationships
between law, language, administration and everyday life in Judaea
and Nabataea in particular, and in the Roman world as a whole. Many
of the papers, especially those devoted to the Judean Desert
documents of the 2nd century CE have been widely cited. Others,
having appeared in less accessible publications, may not have
received the attention they deserve. On the whole, rather than
addressing the grand narratives of world or national history, they
look at the texture of life, seeking to provide tentative answers
to historical questions and interpretations by paying fine
attention to the details of literary and, especially, documentary
evidence. Taken together they illuminate fundamental, often legal,
questions concerning daily life and the exercise of Roman rule and
administration in the early imperial period, and especially, their
impact on life as it was lived in the province and the period where
Roman and Jewish history fatefully intersected. The volume includes
a complete bibliography of her publications.
