Jewish analogue to The Golden Bough,
By A Customer
This review is from: Legends of the Jews: Complete Set (Volumes 1-7) (Hardcover)
Translated from the original German by the founder of Hadassah, this work encompasses Jewish legends and traditions from a comprehensive array of Jewish and non-Jewish sources, weaving together into a story-form the various myths and legends; some espoused by mainstream and some by non-mainstream Jewry. Great bibliographical references for each citation utilizing both traditional and non-traditional sources.

5.0 out of 5 stars
nothing can be definitive but this surely comes closest,
By A Customer
This review is from: Legends of the Jews: Complete Set (Volumes 1-7) (Hardcover)
A masterpiece of scholarship with the most surprising revelations on some of the best known sections of the Bible. This book makes it clear that for every text that makes it into print there are hundreds that circulate in oral culture and are maintained from mouth to ear. The richness and variety of the texts presented is staggering
