This volume contains the papers of a workshop on Jewish epigraphy
in antiquity organized at Utrecht University in 1992. Among the
participants were collaborators of the Cambridge Jewish
Inscriptions Project and of the T]binger Atlas des Vorderen Orients
project.
Important aspects of ancient Jewish inscriptions are highlighted in
the papers, like the connection between documentary and literary
texts. Several papers focus on aspects of the history of Jewish
communities in the diaspora.
Specialists in Jewish epigraphy will find surveys of parts of the
corpus of Jewish inscriptions (curse inscriptions, metrical
epitaphs, alphabet-inscriptions) and discussions of some fixed
opinions, and Jewish inscriptions are discussed in a wider literary
and historical contexts as well.
