Identity and Territory: Jewish Perceptions of Space in Antiquity Hardcover - 2019

by Eyal Ben-Eliyahu


From the rear cover

"Eyal Ben-Eliyahu has produced a sophisticated treatment of Jewish conceptions of the boundaries of the land of Israel and its internal geography, from the Hebrew Bible to the end of antiquity. This book deftly demonstrates how the Jewish discourse of space was shaped--and reshaped--at the dynamic intersection of communal memory, scriptural exegesis, demographic change, and the shifting structures of empire."--Ra'anan Boustan, Research Scholar in the Program in Judaic Studies, Princeton University

"This novel, original, and comprehensive work is a pioneering, long-awaited attempt to apply the spatial theory of history, prominent in the humanities and social sciences, to Jewish studies. Through scholarly erudition and shrewd analysis, this book brilliantly illuminates the reciprocal relations between territory and identity in post-biblical Jewish society."--Vered Noam, Professor of Talmud and Second Temple Literature, Tel Aviv University
