Samely, Alexander, 'The Juxtaposition of Part-Texts in a Compound', in Philip Alexander, Rocco Bernasconi, and Robert Hayward (eds), Profiling Jewish Literature in Antiquity: An Inventory, from Second Temple Texts to the Talmuds (Oxford , 2013; online edn, Oxford Academic, 1 Jan. 2014), https://doi.org/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780199684328.003.0010, accessed 28 Apr. 2025.
Abstract
This chapter deals with large-scale compilations consisting of shorter, independent texts. It explores categories for describing compounds of self-contained narratives, of which Genesis Apocryphon is an apparent example. Compounds can also be constituted by poetic pieces (Qumran Hodayot), thematic discourses (Mishnah), commentaries (Talmuds), and homilies (Leviticus Rabbah). In all these cases the juxtaposition of independent texts is tacit, and the status of the overall work as a ‘text’ is open. Works of this kind, often labelled anthologies, furthermore include combinations of diverse part-texts, as in Aḥiqar from Elephantine, and in Lamentations Rabbah.
