The Children of Noah: Jewish Seafaring in Ancient Times Paperback - 1999
by Raphael Patai
The late Raphael Patai recreates in "The Children of Noah" the fascinating world of Jewish seafaring from Noah's voyage through the Diaspora of late antiquity. In a work of pioneering scholarship, Patai weaves together Biblical stories, Talmudic lore, and Midrash literature to bring alive the world of these ancient mariners. Illustrations.
First line
THE BIBLE, that unique literary masterpiece, opens with an account of the mythical beginnings of the history of the world, of mankind, and of the people of Israel, proceeds with an admixture of myth and history in which the former gradually diminishes as the latter gains ground, and then continues with a theocentric historical account of developments in the united, and subsequently divided, Hebrew monarchy, and of what happened to the Jews after their return from the Babylonian exile.
From the rear cover
"This work is altogether a masterpiece of substance and style. It is not only a major contribution to our knowledge of the ancient world. . .but it is as well a sheer reading delight for humanists of all backgrounds."--Howard M. Sachar, George Washington University
