First line
We are perhaps used to thinking of the Hebrew Bible, together with the poems of Homer and Hesiod, as the literature of the archaic world-without considering that these formed only a fraction of the written discourse of ancient times.
From the rear cover
With chapters written by leading scholars specifically for this volume, 'Back to the Sources' is the first comprehensive guide to this literary legacy: the Bible, the Talmud, the midrashic literature, the commentaries, the legal codes, the mystical texts of the Kabbalah and of Hasidism, the philosophical works and the prayerbook.
