Binding Fragments of Tractate Temurah and the Problem of Lishana Aḥarina
Series: - The Brill Reference Library of Judaism, Volume: 58
Binding Fragments of Tractate Temurah and the Problem of Lishana âAḥarina offers a critical edition of an important Talmud manuscript of tractate Temurah discovered in the library of New York University. Addressing the unique Lishana âAḥarina (âalternative versionâ) phenomenon present in this tractate, the present volume suggests a new approach for understanding the editing and transmission of tractate Temurah. This volume also includes a thorough discussion of the conservation and treatment of the manuscript fragments, a codicological and paleographical analysis of the fragments, and a synopsis of the entire first chapter of this tractate. The present work is relevant for study of the redaction and transmission of tractate Temurah and the Babylonian Talmud, as well as for the study of Hebrew binding fragments.
Matthew Goldstone, Ph.D. (2017), published in Journal of Biblical Literature, Jewish Studies Quarterly, Novum Testamentum, and Journal for the Study of the New Testament, and authored The Dangerous Duty of Rebuke: Leviticus 19:17 in Early Jewish and Christian Interpretation (forthcoming).
