Author: GOODENOUGH, ERWIN R.
Title: Jewish Symbols in the Greco-Roman period. Edited and abridged by Jacob Neusner.
Description: Princeton, Princeton University Press, 1992. XLVI, 283 and 91 illustrations on 48 plates. Fine copy. Clean, no name, underlinings or any other traces of use or wear. Paperback. This volume presents the most important portions of Erwin Goodenough's classic thirteen-volume work, a magisterial attempt to encompass human spiritual history in general through the study of Jewish symbols in particular. Revealing that the Jewish religion of the period was much more varied and complex than the extant Talmudic literature would lead us to believe, Goodenough offered evidence for the existence of a Hellenistic-Jewish mystic mythology far closer to the Qabbalah than to rabbinical Judaism.
