- This is a major monograph study of Pirqei deRabbi Eliezer, an important Hebrew work of the late-eighth-to-early-ninth centuries CE. It explores the work’s distinctive literary features by analysing its structure and coherence, providing a detailed critique of the methodology of the Manchester-Durham Typology of Anonymous and Pseudepigraphic Jewish Literature and situating Pirqei deRabbi Eliezer in its intertextual relationships with antecedent and contemporaneous texts from Christian, Jewish and Muslim contexts. The 250 page monograph thus throws light on a new turn in Jewish literature following the rise of Islam, while advancing the methodology for studying pre-modern and non-European literatures.
