Research Scholarships and Rabbinic and Mandaean Parodies

For these competitive scholarships, we encourage applications from all areas of Jewish Studies, especially in Late Antique Judaism and in Jewish Philosophy.

Also of interest is the notification of Holger Zellentin’s new book, Rabbinic Parodies of Jewish & Christian Literature, which I am going to have to get hold of and read, since I expect it will prove relevant to the work I’m currently doing on the Mandaean reception of Jewish and Christian materials, which is likewise full of parody and satire.
