Vol. VII published in 1938. Judaica. Judaism. Jewish literature. Heavy set, for shipment outside Europe extra postage will be required. A comprehensive collection of Aggadot dealing with Biblical personages and events. This collection also considers Pseudepigrapha of confirmed Jewish origin as well as Jewish legends found within Patristic Christian texts. The legendary material is presented in a smooth and mostly uninterrupted narrative manner. When conflicting versions of a legend exist, Ginzburg tries to relay the common tale while leaving the detailed discussion of the different versions to the scholarly annotations. In addition to the legends contained within, Volume III, focusing specifically on the life and deeds of Moses, also offers symbolic explanations of certain Jewish laws. Providing the detailed scholarly backdrop for the narrative style of the first four volumes, the Notes gathered in Volumes V and VI discuss the collected legends in terms of sources, authorship, traditions, language and content and more. In Volume VII, Boaz Cohen combines alphabetical, chronological and systematic principles to offer a comprehensive index of all the relevant themes, concepts, place names and personal names appearing in Ginzberg's narrative work. In addition, Cohen provides an index of Hebrew and Aramaic phrases as well as an index of scriptoral passages.
