It reflects on the meaning and motivations behind the rabbinic resistance to civil strife, connecting it to their commitment to the rule of law. In this essay I explore how law is not only anathema to social unrest, but both anchors and catalyzes a rabbinic machinery that works actively to prevent it. The rabbis pursue a number of avenues to short-circuit the traditional catalysts of Jewish unrest/rebellion, and a selection of culturally volatile topics, seen together, create a network in which the rabbis’ own stated aims can come to pass. In suppressing unrest, the rabbis are not only defending themselves bodily from Roman intervention (though they do that too), but also creating inner Jewish conditions necessary for the establishment of their audacious nomos. The essay concludes by defining as “sovereigntist” a form of provincial politics baked into both the tannaitic and imperial endeavors.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="29b0a408360b1a50302ad06d36e3b577" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":118621808,"asset_id":124386148,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/118621808/download_file?st=MTczMjgxNjg1Myw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="124386148"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span><span id="work-strip-rankings-button-container"></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="124386148"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 124386148; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=124386148]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=124386148]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 124386148; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='124386148']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span><span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 124386148, container: "", }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-f77ea15d77ce96025a6048a514272ad8becbad23c641fc2b3bd6e24ca6ff1932.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (true){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "29b0a408360b1a50302ad06d36e3b577" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=124386148]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":124386148,"title":"“Roman War, Rabbinic Law, and Provincial Sovereigntism”","translated_title":"","metadata":{"abstract":"This essay traces the smouldering aftermath of unrest against Rome on one provincial population: the tannaitic rabbis.

To my eyes, the tannaitic corpus, Midrash especially, was a strange and difficult literature, even in the landscape of other imperial exegetical literatures. Despite the obvious obstacles that belatedness put in my path to joining the guild, Michael Fishbane (generously) told me my alienation was an opportunity, and encouraged me to hold onto it even as I became increasingly at home in the sources. Strangeness exists in the eye of the beholder, of course, and what I saw in the halakhic midrashim as an eruptive and destabilizing formalized formlessness is quite differently seen by insiders; the extent that tannaitic literature might feel, or be, historically atypical is occluded the more so by its normalizing mediation by post-tannaitic rabbinic literatures and paideia. Scholarship on early tannaitic Midrash is grounded in literary methodology-philology, source and text criticism, and explication du texte. As the genre is at once parabiblical (ostensibly \"about\" the ancient source) and stubbornly ahistorical in its concerns, any assessment of historical, political, ethical, philosophical, even anthropological questions must proceed by way of subtle interpretation. In my first Midrash seminar at the University of Chicago, Michael Fishbane taught us that a critical opening step in understanding Midrash was determining the correct unit of analysis. Where does the derash begin and end? What parts of the cited lemma and prooftexts are important, and how much of the uncited material extending invisibly on either side of it is relevant?

The rabbis, like Aristeas and Josephus writing in Greek, I will argue, are significantly affected by the imagined imperial reader and his library. Their language, genres, media, and content are similarly created in relationship to them. Key elements distinguishing tannaitic literature from antecedent Jewish literatures are some of the very things that align them with Roman literary culture: (1) a heightened sense of the authority of the book, and a belated and deferential stance<br />to the book-based knowledge manifested in careful attention to wording, precision, and citation as driving mode of creation/composition; (2) a sense of foreboding in the face of the proliferation of knowledge, and an attempt to manage it; and (3) the emergence of the real person from behind the pseudepigraph, and the concurrent elevation of the human scholar-expert, who curates and brokers knowledge, and functions in his person as a sort of walking library. In highlighting these parallels I<br />hope to communicate that rabbis are not prima fascia an inversion of the imperial, an outlier or special case. Indeed, they are facing down some of the same challenges that vex Pliny, and in this way they are fellow travellers. And yet even as they shape a Roman-inflected literacy, the rabbis curtail imperial logic, and move dramatically to thwart it. The primary gestures of this recusal are three: a contraction of the sacred library and a concomitant censorship of both Jewish and non-Jewish books; a refusal to trace non-Scriptural knowledge to books; and the refusal of authorship – they not only don’t depict themselves writing, but they do not attribute works to individual persons. In sum, the rabbis’ unusual focus on the book – the ways they reify the textuality of one small corpus, while stigmatizing the authorizing power of all others – deviates from the book-centered Jewish imagination that preceded them. Looking at the rabbinic project through the lens of the Roman book consumer, for whom the production and circulation of books was central to intellectual life, we might draw together a set of related aversions: in saying no to knowledge derived from books, no to writing, no to authorship, to Greek and Aramaic and most antecedent genres, the early rabbis create a literary cosmos that confronts the Roman reader/librarian with daunting barriers.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="b707f103c45f3866351480929c88c8fa" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":63596984,"asset_id":43256648,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/63596984/download_file?st=MTczMjgxNjg1Myw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="43256648"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span><span id="work-strip-rankings-button-container"></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="43256648"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 43256648; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=43256648]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=43256648]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 43256648; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='43256648']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span><span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 43256648, container: "", }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-f77ea15d77ce96025a6048a514272ad8becbad23c641fc2b3bd6e24ca6ff1932.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (true){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "b707f103c45f3866351480929c88c8fa" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=43256648]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":43256648,"title":"Jewish Books and Roman Readers: Censorship, Authorship, and the Rabbinic Library","translated_title":"","metadata":{"abstract":"In this essay I use the imperial library as a figure of the dynamic reading practices of an imperial elite and to frame the early rabbis’ own relationship to the book.

The second part of the paper reflects on the manifold methodological pitfalls (and potentials) of comparison, history, and jurisprudence in the study of rabbinic and Roman law in an imperial landscape.","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/51123406/Ad_similitudinem_arbitrorum_On_the_Perils_of_Commensurability_and_Comparison_in_Roman_and_Rabbinic_Law","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2021-08-31T10:27:46.747-07:00","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":null,"current_user_is_owner":null,"owner_id":2421543,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"paper","co_author_tags":[],"downloadable_attachments":[{"id":68967114,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/68967114/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"DOHRMANN.arbitration.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/68967114/download_file?st=MTczMjgxNjg1Myw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"Ad_similitudinem_arbitrorum_On_the_Peril.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/68967114/DOHRMANN.arbitration-libre.pdf?1630431649=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DAd_similitudinem_arbitrorum_On_the_Peril.pdf\u0026Expires=1732768368\u0026Signature=FF0B1j62437gi1DGOaYXwORUGl50W82mtiAOfXnW~I8JA0-w3OIOrOdDUIuKdxDUBlcfOaFed7EoRIbqYyPOsCN1fKfbFY2aDSoTQc0fZsxYfe8y22FVnYT6OdjF405-rlLKmSCQFWsnxqMn3PM35~VlwCQaUlZluC8EkoBxOL06lH7spPy-wZfLFm3kNQoqVyavcvS~fXvnDwB1~rjyXc0RYMzGzVruXNOpu-zCAh4JRFStafjskRuibOADr4cwGU9ysoUMlH6RL41iDq-tOkCIIRLhy7VzCAdixuQ7RjR7~7cBV1~YNkKxMyTDqjuBAxrd~grwNQaX1nO4iOc~Ow__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"slug":"Ad_similitudinem_arbitrorum_On_the_Perils_of_Commensurability_and_Comparison_in_Roman_and_Rabbinic_Law","translated_slug":"","page_count":22,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","owner":{"id":2421543,"first_name":"Natalie","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Dohrmann","page_name":"NBDohrmann","domain_name":"upenn","created_at":"2012-09-02T02:13:15.459-07:00","display_name":"Natalie Dohrmann","url":"https://upenn.academia.edu/NBDohrmann"},"attachments":[{"id":68967114,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/68967114/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"DOHRMANN.arbitration.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/68967114/download_file?st=MTczMjgxNjg1Myw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"Ad_similitudinem_arbitrorum_On_the_Peril.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/68967114/DOHRMANN.arbitration-libre.pdf?1630431649=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DAd_similitudinem_arbitrorum_On_the_Peril.pdf\u0026Expires=1732768368\u0026Signature=FF0B1j62437gi1DGOaYXwORUGl50W82mtiAOfXnW~I8JA0-w3OIOrOdDUIuKdxDUBlcfOaFed7EoRIbqYyPOsCN1fKfbFY2aDSoTQc0fZsxYfe8y22FVnYT6OdjF405-rlLKmSCQFWsnxqMn3PM35~VlwCQaUlZluC8EkoBxOL06lH7spPy-wZfLFm3kNQoqVyavcvS~fXvnDwB1~rjyXc0RYMzGzVruXNOpu-zCAh4JRFStafjskRuibOADr4cwGU9ysoUMlH6RL41iDq-tOkCIIRLhy7VzCAdixuQ7RjR7~7cBV1~YNkKxMyTDqjuBAxrd~grwNQaX1nO4iOc~Ow__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[{"id":546,"name":"Comparative Law","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Comparative_Law"},{"id":4134,"name":"Roman Law","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Roman_Law"},{"id":6015,"name":"Arbitration Law","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Arbitration_Law"},{"id":18158,"name":"Rabbinic Literature","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Rabbinic_Literature"},{"id":23555,"name":"Roman Empire","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Roman_Empire"},{"id":33264,"name":"Comparative Legal History","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Comparative_Legal_History"},{"id":50663,"name":"Roman imperialism","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Roman_imperialism"},{"id":890422,"name":"Rabbinic Law","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Rabbinic_Law"}],"urls":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData });

The simplest response to the question posed by the title of this essay is that Jewish law is the set of statutes enjoined upon Israel by God. Its authorization is divine and traces itself primarily back to a revelation in history at Mount Sinai as described in the Torah (Exodus 19-24 and passim). This is a skeletal definition, however, and a fuller exploration is warranted. During the period stretching from late Persian imperial control of Judaea (sixth century bce) through the rise of Islam in the seventh century of the Common Era, Jews 1 lived predominately under foreign control-in both the Greco-Roman west and the Parthian/ Sasanian east. If law is defined as the \"aggregate of rules and principles of conduct which the governing power … recognizes as those it will enforce or sanction\" (Cohen 1966, 1: 123) then in fact there is nearly no Jewish law in Antiquity. During this era Jews enjoyed self-rule and the unimpeded power of governmental enforcement only under the Hasmoneans (142-67 bce), and unfortunately we have nearly nothing of actual Hasmonean law or court records with which to work outside of allusions and mentions in historical materials. Jewish self-rule outside of Hasmonean autonomy would have been fragile, partial, and at the whim of the non-Jewish state.

" So wrote the fifth century Greek philospher Heraklitos. The concept of " Sacred Law " is likely the remnant of a category first used in 1906 to define a particular corpus of Greek inscriptions pertaining to cult practice. It constitutes a subcategory of the vast category— " all laws of men " —that includes the intersection of the normative and the divine. Sacred law is not the abstract, pervasive, and diffuse notion of divine sponsorship—however conceived—of state power, or the vast realm captured between the terms " religion and law, " but covers a subcategory of explicit norms that govern religious cult practice. Despite being shaped by a particular curatorial moment, the term is a useful rubric for entry into the ancient materials, since the study of practice is an important cognate to studies of theology or belief. Sacrifice and the apparatus that developed to regulate it were perhaps the most important religious institutions in the ancient world—the stakes of obedience were cosmic in scale. Though modern readers may be accustomed to dismissing the legalistic component of ancient religion as primitive and though the laws themselves can be tedious to read, they are nonetheless a critical language through which these cultures communicated their idea of divinity. Moreover, they permit scholars an important inroad for comparison of phenomena, the commonalities of which, were one to look only (and anachronistically) at " theology " would be lost. Moreover indeed, one cannot understand religion at all in the ancient Mediterranean through the category of belief alone; right action, or orthopraxy, was not only what could be prescribed, but was what mattered. Sacred laws are preserved in a variety of corpuses, each of which presents challenges concerning analytical method. Within each culture, sacred laws, which are a category classified by content, must also be considered according to the genres in which they appear. While historical, literary, and other material remains tell us much about how religion was practiced, our concern here is with legal sources that take prescriptive and normative form. The standard compendia of Greek sacred law are made up of inscriptions, and so preserve distinctly public and emphatically local data, while Jewish sacred laws are preserved largely through textual collections composed in both earlier and later ages. The main sources here are the priestly materials in the Torah, a collection of laws governing the cult compiled in the Persian period (5 th c. BCE) or slightly earlier, but which take as their stated object the tabernacle, or tent of meeting, of earlier narratives. The second major source is the Mishnah, an early third-century CE legal collection that emerged from the rabbinic movement. The rabbis, who thrived only after the cessation of Jewish sacrifice following the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE, were a group of lay Torah experts whose complex relationship to the cult is belated and ambivalent, holding archival, nostalgic, and polemical motives in tension. Roman sacred laws are found in a wide array of sources, and much of what we know comes from collections compiled under the Christian empire, which combines a similar dual stance—conservative and polemical—toward the cultic traditions. Sacred laws are difficult to use as historical data. Their narrow focus and paradigmatic content testify to their profound conservatism across time and space, such that a phenomenological approach may be best. It is not unusual to see an inscription from the fifth century BCE anthologized alongside or discussed seamlessly and without comment beside another from the first century CE. Compounding this is the fact that most sacred law is technical and telegraphic —they have been compared to recipes for master chefs, so in lieu of a full recipe, we may have only an abbreviated list of ingredients.

To my eyes, the tannaitic corpus, Midrash especially, was a strange and difficult literature, even in the landscape of other imperial exegetical literatures. Despite the obvious obstacles that belatedness put in my path to joining the guild, Michael Fishbane (generously) told me my alienation was an opportunity, and encouraged me to hold onto it even as I became increasingly at home in the sources. Strangeness exists in the eye of the beholder, of course, and what I saw in the halakhic midrashim as an eruptive and destabilizing formalized formlessness is quite differently seen by insiders; the extent that tannaitic literature might feel, or be, historically atypical is occluded the more so by its normalizing mediation by post-tannaitic rabbinic literatures and paideia. Scholarship on early tannaitic Midrash is grounded in literary methodology-philology, source and text criticism, and explication du texte. As the genre is at once parabiblical (ostensibly \"about\" the ancient source) and stubbornly ahistorical in its concerns, any assessment of historical, political, ethical, philosophical, even anthropological questions must proceed by way of subtle interpretation. In my first Midrash seminar at the University of Chicago, Michael Fishbane taught us that a critical opening step in understanding Midrash was determining the correct unit of analysis. Where does the derash begin and end? What parts of the cited lemma and prooftexts are important, and how much of the uncited material extending invisibly on either side of it is relevant?

The rabbis, like Aristeas and Josephus writing in Greek, I will argue, are significantly affected by the imagined imperial reader and his library. Their language, genres, media, and content are similarly created in relationship to them. Key elements distinguishing tannaitic literature from antecedent Jewish literatures are some of the very things that align them with Roman literary culture: (1) a heightened sense of the authority of the book, and a belated and deferential stance<br />to the book-based knowledge manifested in careful attention to wording, precision, and citation as driving mode of creation/composition; (2) a sense of foreboding in the face of the proliferation of knowledge, and an attempt to manage it; and (3) the emergence of the real person from behind the pseudepigraph, and the concurrent elevation of the human scholar-expert, who curates and brokers knowledge, and functions in his person as a sort of walking library. In highlighting these parallels I<br />hope to communicate that rabbis are not prima fascia an inversion of the imperial, an outlier or special case. Indeed, they are facing down some of the same challenges that vex Pliny, and in this way they are fellow travellers. And yet even as they shape a Roman-inflected literacy, the rabbis curtail imperial logic, and move dramatically to thwart it. The primary gestures of this recusal are three: a contraction of the sacred library and a concomitant censorship of both Jewish and non-Jewish books; a refusal to trace non-Scriptural knowledge to books; and the refusal of authorship – they not only don’t depict themselves writing, but they do not attribute works to individual persons. In sum, the rabbis’ unusual focus on the book – the ways they reify the textuality of one small corpus, while stigmatizing the authorizing power of all others – deviates from the book-centered Jewish imagination that preceded them. Looking at the rabbinic project through the lens of the Roman book consumer, for whom the production and circulation of books was central to intellectual life, we might draw together a set of related aversions: in saying no to knowledge derived from books, no to writing, no to authorship, to Greek and Aramaic and most antecedent genres, the early rabbis create a literary cosmos that confronts the Roman reader/librarian with daunting barriers.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="b707f103c45f3866351480929c88c8fa" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":63596984,"asset_id":43256648,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/63596984/download_file?st=MTczMjgxNjg1Myw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="43256648"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span><span id="work-strip-rankings-button-container"></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="43256648"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 43256648; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=43256648]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=43256648]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 43256648; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='43256648']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span><span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 43256648, container: "", }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-f77ea15d77ce96025a6048a514272ad8becbad23c641fc2b3bd6e24ca6ff1932.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (true){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "b707f103c45f3866351480929c88c8fa" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=43256648]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":43256648,"title":"Jewish Books and Roman Readers: Censorship, Authorship, and the Rabbinic Library","translated_title":"","metadata":{"abstract":"In this essay I use the imperial library as a figure of the dynamic reading practices of an imperial elite and to frame the early rabbis’ own relationship to the book.

In this material narrative tends to be lost; classical source texts, such as Vergil, are fetishized, broken apart, and repurposed. In this essay I ask of one corpus—early rabbinic midrash (biblical commentary)—what is the origin and impact of its fragmented and finally incoherent narrative project? At the risk of oversimplifying , I will focus on the rabbis as a case study in the etiology of a more general phenomenon.

The simplest response to the question posed by the title of this essay is that Jewish law is the set of statutes enjoined upon Israel by God. Its authorization is divine and traces itself primarily back to a revelation in history at Mount Sinai as described in the Torah (Exodus 19-24 and passim). This is a skeletal definition, however, and a fuller exploration is warranted. During the period stretching from late Persian imperial control of Judaea (sixth century bce) through the rise of Islam in the seventh century of the Common Era, Jews 1 lived predominately under foreign control-in both the Greco-Roman west and the Parthian/ Sasanian east. If law is defined as the \"aggregate of rules and principles of conduct which the governing power … recognizes as those it will enforce or sanction\" (Cohen 1966, 1: 123) then in fact there is nearly no Jewish law in Antiquity. During this era Jews enjoyed self-rule and the unimpeded power of governmental enforcement only under the Hasmoneans (142-67 bce), and unfortunately we have nearly nothing of actual Hasmonean law or court records with which to work outside of allusions and mentions in historical materials. Jewish self-rule outside of Hasmonean autonomy would have been fragile, partial, and at the whim of the non-Jewish state.

" So wrote the fifth century Greek philospher Heraklitos. The concept of " Sacred Law " is likely the remnant of a category first used in 1906 to define a particular corpus of Greek inscriptions pertaining to cult practice. It constitutes a subcategory of the vast category— " all laws of men " —that includes the intersection of the normative and the divine. Sacred law is not the abstract, pervasive, and diffuse notion of divine sponsorship—however conceived—of state power, or the vast realm captured between the terms " religion and law, " but covers a subcategory of explicit norms that govern religious cult practice. Despite being shaped by a particular curatorial moment, the term is a useful rubric for entry into the ancient materials, since the study of practice is an important cognate to studies of theology or belief. Sacrifice and the apparatus that developed to regulate it were perhaps the most important religious institutions in the ancient world—the stakes of obedience were cosmic in scale. Though modern readers may be accustomed to dismissing the legalistic component of ancient religion as primitive and though the laws themselves can be tedious to read, they are nonetheless a critical language through which these cultures communicated their idea of divinity. Moreover, they permit scholars an important inroad for comparison of phenomena, the commonalities of which, were one to look only (and anachronistically) at " theology " would be lost. Moreover indeed, one cannot understand religion at all in the ancient Mediterranean through the category of belief alone; right action, or orthopraxy, was not only what could be prescribed, but was what mattered. Sacred laws are preserved in a variety of corpuses, each of which presents challenges concerning analytical method. Within each culture, sacred laws, which are a category classified by content, must also be considered according to the genres in which they appear. While historical, literary, and other material remains tell us much about how religion was practiced, our concern here is with legal sources that take prescriptive and normative form. The standard compendia of Greek sacred law are made up of inscriptions, and so preserve distinctly public and emphatically local data, while Jewish sacred laws are preserved largely through textual collections composed in both earlier and later ages. The main sources here are the priestly materials in the Torah, a collection of laws governing the cult compiled in the Persian period (5 th c. BCE) or slightly earlier, but which take as their stated object the tabernacle, or tent of meeting, of earlier narratives. The second major source is the Mishnah, an early third-century CE legal collection that emerged from the rabbinic movement. The rabbis, who thrived only after the cessation of Jewish sacrifice following the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE, were a group of lay Torah experts whose complex relationship to the cult is belated and ambivalent, holding archival, nostalgic, and polemical motives in tension. Roman sacred laws are found in a wide array of sources, and much of what we know comes from collections compiled under the Christian empire, which combines a similar dual stance—conservative and polemical—toward the cultic traditions. Sacred laws are difficult to use as historical data. Their narrow focus and paradigmatic content testify to their profound conservatism across time and space, such that a phenomenological approach may be best. It is not unusual to see an inscription from the fifth century BCE anthologized alongside or discussed seamlessly and without comment beside another from the first century CE. Compounding this is the fact that most sacred law is technical and telegraphic —they have been compared to recipes for master chefs, so in lieu of a full recipe, we may have only an abbreviated list of ingredients.
