Judeans in Persian and Hellenistic Egypt - Social Settings and Literary Productions

Edited by Oded Lipschits, Sara Milstein, Konrad Schmid, and Jakob Wöhrle.

Four articles show Egypt’s importance for the biblical world. From the Editorial Introduction: "The four articles collected in this volume present new documents from Egypt in Persian and Hellenistic times which are of interest to biblical scholars and / or re-examine the geographical and social location of known Judean literary and religious texts which, as argued in the said articles, were produced in Egypt, and not necessarily in the country's major urban centers. All four articles deal with texts and documents which were presumably or allegedly produced by small or middle-sized communities, and which seem to have been related to the military, either directly, in origin, or indirectly. In this way, the articles highlight the role of small or middle-sized settlements in the production, compilation, and translation of texts of various nature: administrative (Honigman), legal (Kreuzer), religious (Holm, Honigman), and narrative (Holm, Fitzpatrick)". - Contents: Sylvie Honigman/Anne Fitzpatrick-McKinley: Judeans in Persian and Hellenistic Egypt - Social Settings and Literary Productions.
