Jewish Inscriptions of Graeco-Roman Egypt

This book collects all known Jewish inscriptions in Egypt between the third century BC and the sixth century AD. The entry on each inscription provides text translation bibliography and commentary. Hitherto it has been necessary to refer to an older collection (1952 but essentially pre-war) together with a separately published revision (1964) with very limited indexing. Here the aim has been to include inscriptions not in the earlier collection to bring together the necessary information on each inscription and to supply full indexing. The inscriptions form a vivid primary source for Jewish history and religion.
