    Description:  This volume contains papers of a workshop on Jewish epigraphy in antiquity organized at Utrecht University in 1992. Among the participants were members of the Cambridge Jewish Inscriptions Project and the Tuebinger Atlas des Vorderen Orients project. Aspects of ancient Jewish inscriptions, such as the connection between documentary and literary texts, are highlighted in the papers. Several papers focus on aspects of the history of Jewish communities in the diaspora. The book also includes surveys of parts of the corpus of Jewish inscriptions (curse inscriptions, metrical epitaphs, alphabet-inscriptions) and discussions of some fixed opinions. Jewish inscriptions are also discussed in wider literary and historical contexts.
