Abridged and revised edition.\n\nThis book collates and translates Aramaic papyri originating from an ancient Jewish military settlement at Elephantine in Upper Egypt, dating back to the 5th century BCE. It presents the most comprehensive collection of legible Aramaic papyri of the pre-Christian era known to date. The texts have been arranged chronologically and encompass a diverse range of documents, including letters, legal and financial records, literary pieces, and religious fragments. The book deepens our understanding of the daily lives of these Jewish communities, their legal practices, social customs and religious beliefs. It sheds light on the religious practices of this particular community, offering insights into their monotheistic worship of Yau, while acknowledging the recognition of other deities such as Anath, Bethel, and Ishum. This collection of papyri serves as an invaluable resource for scholars seeking to reconstruct the history, culture, and religious practices of this significant Jewish community in ancient Egypt.
