“In most edited volumes, one or two essays stand out. I found Miller-Naudé and Naudé as well as Doron and Dubnov extremely helpful, and I will return to them regularly for reference; these two articles alone would be worth the price of the volume. What sets this book apart, however, is that there are at least half a dozen other valuable articles, which testifies to the overall quality of a volume that deserves to be on every Hebrew scholar’s shelf.”—Joshua Harper Journal of Language, Culture, and Religion
