The Judean community at Elephantine has long fascinated historians
of the Persian period. This book, with its stellar assemblage of
important scholarly voices, provides substantive new insights and
approaches that will advance the study of this well-known but not
entirely understood community from fifth-century BCE Egypt. Since
Bezalel Porten's pioneering Archives from Elephantine, published in
1968, the discourse on the subject of the community of Elephantine
during the Persian period has changed considerably, due to new data
from excavations, the discovery and publication of previously
unknown texts, and original scholarly insights and avenues of
inquiry. Running the gamut from archaeological to linguistic
investigations and encompassing legal, literary, religious, and
other aspects of life in this Judean community, this volume stands
at a crossroads of research that extends from Hebrew Bible studies
to the history of early Jewish communities. It also features
fourteen new Aramaic ostraca from Aswan. The volume will appeal to
students and scholars of the Hebrew Bible and ancient Judaism, as
well as to a wider audience of Egyptologists, Semitists, and
specialists in ancient Near Eastern studies. In addition to the
editor, the contributors to this volume include Annalisa Azzoni,
Bob Becking, Alejandro F. Botta, Lester L. Grabbe, Ingo Kottsieper,
Reinhard G. Kratz, Andre Lemaire, Helene Nutkowicz, Beatrice von
Pilgrim, Cornelius von Pilgrim, Bezalel Porten, Ada Yardeni, and
Ran Zadok. Moreover, a video recording of an interview conducted
with Porten on his long career in Elephantine studies accompanies
the book through a link on the Eisenbrauns website.
