3. Fractured tablets : forgetfulness and fallibility in late ancient rabbinic culture

   Balberg, Mira, 1978-

   Oakland, California : University of California Press, [2023]

   "This book examines the significant role that memory failures play in early rabbinic literature. The rabbis who shaped Judaism in late antiquity envisioned the commitment to the Torah and to its commandments as governing every single aspect of a person's life.
