About this item
by Alexander W. Marcus (Editor), Jason Sion Mokhtarian (Editor)
Outside of the Babylonian Talmud, the Aramaic incantation bowls inscribed with elaborate magical texts are the only major extant written corpus produced by Jews during the late Sasanian and early Islamic periods (ca. 500-700 CE). Contributors to this collection of essays approach these amulets through a variety of methodological approaches, including social history, gender studies, linguistics, and digital humanities. The fascinating artifacts presented here transform our understanding of Jewish culture, interreligious interactions, and the varieties of Jewish identity and religion that existed during this formative era.
