Lanham, MD ; University Press Of America, 1987. Item #32823
Original Cloth. 8vo. XVI, 300 pages. 24 cm. First edition. “Raises the contemporary issue of intertextuality, while analyzing the canonical writings of Judaism. These writings provide an ideal example of the meaning and uses of the critical initiative represented by intertextuality. In this book, the author asks in reference to these texts, how one document relates to others, thus a community of texts. He agrees that the shared conventions of rhetoric, topic and logic validate an approach to the canonical texts that ignores all social dimensions, for intrinsic to the writings are formal points of intersection and connection. ” (Publishers Description) Subjects: Rabbinical literature - History and criticism.
