Description and Table of Contents

Description

Periodic research reports serve as guide posts, allowing the author to situate his work and its direction for the benefit of a reading public that is unlikely to consult the monographs themselves. This collection of recent essays and reviews sets forth lectures at the University of Bologna in January 2007, when Rabbi Neusner held an appointment at the University's Institute of Advanced Study. At that time, also, the European segment of "The Religious Resources of Toleration," the joint project of Bard College, University of Bologna, and American University of Cairo, was held at Bologna. The recent papers represent work done in 2005-2006.
