More about the book
The book explores the documentary hypothesis concerning the Rabbinic canon of late antiquity, asserting that complete documents are the foundational elements of the Rabbinic system. Through a detailed comparison of the rhetorical and exegetical characteristics of two similar documents, it reveals an unexpected outcome: despite their kinship, the documents share no common traits. This analysis challenges assumptions about the connections within Rabbinic texts and offers new insights into their individual structures and meanings.
