by: Lieberman, Saul

Hardcover. NY, Jewish Theological Seminary of America, 2nd Ed., 1962, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Hardcover, dark green cloth with gilt lettering on spine, 231 pages. (Essays in Judaism series) In this book, master Talmudist and scholar of the Greco-Roman world, the late Professor Saul Lieberman, elucidates words, texts, customs, and practices in either rabbinic or classical literature, often by reference to passages in the other. In Greek in Jewish Palestine, he demonstrates that almost every foreign word and phrase have their raison d'etre in rabbinic literature and that all Greek phrases in rabbinic literature are quotations. Hellenism in Greek Palestine is an inquiry into the spirit of many rabbinic observations and investigations of the facts, incidents, opinions, notions and beliefs to which the Rabbis allude in their statements. Name on front fly leaf, otherwise clean.
