Jewish Prayer Texts from the Cairo Genizah, which sets a new tone
for future studies, consists of a selection of transcribed and
translated Genizah fragments that contain some of the earliest
known texts of rabbinic prayers. Reif describes in detail the
physical makeup of each manuscript and assesses the manner in which
the scribe has tackled the matter of recording a preferred version.
He then places the prayer texts included in the manuscript within
the context of Jewish liturgical history, explaining the degree to
which they were innovative and whether they established precedents
to be followed in later prayer-books. He offers specialists and
more general readers a fresh understanding of the historical,
theological, linguistic, and social factors that may have motivated
adjustments to their liturgical formulations.
