Reviews
'[The essays] make unexpected and intriguing links between Jewish and non-Jewish literature and ideas, and (rightly) raise as much questions as they seek to answer. In that respect, they have helpfully indicted possible directions of future research.'
Stefan C . Reif, Journal of Jewish Studies
'Provides a wealth of new information... a first quality working tool.'
Jean-Pierre Rothschild, Revue des etudes juives
