| Summary: | The figure of Moses looms large across the entirety of Jewish history in distinct and varied ways. Even in the oldest “classical” Jewish sources, Moses is remembered and deployed at symbolic and discursive cross-purposes; the reception and transmission of Moses traditions in later sources reflects the same multidimensional character. The articles in this collection examine the methods, themes, agendas and contradictions that attend the invocation of the figure of Moses in different historical, literary, and social contexts within and beyond the Jewish world. |
