On Jewish Folklore spans a half-century of scholarly inquiry by the
noted anthropologist and biblical scholar Raphael Patai. He essays
collected in this volume, some of which are presented for the first
time in English translation, provide a rich harvest of Jewish
customs and traditional beliefs, gathered from all over the world
and from ancient to modern times. Among the subjects Dr. Patai
investigated and recorded are the history and oral traditions of
the now-vanished Marrano community of Meshhed, Iran; cultural
change among the so-called Jewish Indians of Mexico; beliefs and
customs in connection with birth, the rainbow, and the color blue;
Jewish variants of the widespread custom of earth-eating; and the
remarkable parallels between the rituals connected with enthroning
a new king as described in the Bible and as practiced among certain
African tribes.
