Roman Rule and Jewish Life : Collected Papers, Hardback Book

Roman Rule and Jewish Life : Collected Papers Hardback

Edited by Ofer Pogorelsky

Part of the Studia Judaica series

Hardback

Description

Hannah M Cotton's collected papers focus on questions which have fascinated her for over four decades: the concrete relationships between law, language, administration and everyday life in Judaea and Nabataea in particular, and in the Roman world as a whole.

Many of the papers, especially those devoted to the Judean Desert documents of the 2nd century CE have been widely cited.

Others, having appeared in less accessible publications, may not have received the attention they deserve. On the whole, rather than addressing the grand narratives of world or national history, they look at the texture of life, seeking to provide tentative answers to historical questions and interpretations by paying fine attention to the details of literary and, especially, documentary evidence.

Taken together they illuminate fundamental, often legal, questions concerning daily life and the exercise of Roman rule and administration in the early imperial period, and especially, their impact on life as it was lived in the province and the period where Roman and Jewish history fatefully intersected.

The volume includes a complete bibliography of her publications.
