The Dynamics of Early Judaean Law

Studies in the Diversity of Ancient Social and Communal Legislation

353 Seiten, Hardcover

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

This collection of essays explores aspects of civil and criminal law in ancient Judaea. Whereas the majority of studies on Judaean law focus on biblical law codes (and, therefore, on laws related to sacrifice, cultic purity, and personal piety) this volume focus on laws related to the social and economic dealings of Judaeans in the Neo-Babylonian, Persian, and Greco-Roman periods and on the contribution of epigraphic and archival sources and to the study of this material.
