The Journal of Jewish Studies is an internationally renowned, peer-reviewed academic journal for the promotion of research into all aspects of Jewish studies. Published independently by the Oxford Centre for Hebrew and Jewish Studies, the Journal is one of the leading forums in the world for new findings and discussions of Jewish history, literature and culture from Biblical times to the present day.
In this book, Sebastian Brock provides the Syriac texts of four anonymous dialogue poems, from between the fifth and eight centuries CE, together with fully annotated English translations.

Leading experts, under the editorship of Sarah Pearce, skilfully explore different functions of images in relation to their prohibition by the Second of the Ten Commandments.
