商品簡介
As a canonical document of formative Judaism, the Pesquita deRab Kahana (PRK) sets forth Rabbinic interpretations of the liturgical calendar consulted in the scheduling of weddings and other life cycle events. Neusner (religion and advanced theology, Bard College) introduces its 28 propositions in translation, adds brief comments, and analyzes PRK's contribution to the theology of Rabbinic Judaism. Appended notes address an abridgement in the text, and the roots and branches of the astral calendar. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
