Abstract

"Part of the complex relationship which society has had over the centuries with fossils is at least in part associated with the conceptual problem of exactly how fossils are formed. It was not always assumed that these structures were plant or animal in origin, for a very good reason. From the earliest years of a monotheistic culture, the mortal remains were seen as disposable, epitomised by the Book of Common Prayer of 1662 where the funeral oratory includes the well-known 'earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust' indicating almost by redundant usage that mortal remains will not survive in any shape or form. So it was naturally assumed that with this authority, everything would disappear, and if nothing remained, those stone-like inclusions within rocks could not possibly be animal or plant in origin."--

Abstract

Most of the papers in this volume originated as presentations at the conference Biblical Hebrew and Rabbinic Hebrew: New Perspectives in Philology and Linguistics, which was held at the University of Cambridge, 8-10th July, 2019. The aim of the conference was to build bridges between various strands of research in the field of Hebrew language studies that rarely meet, namely philologists working on Biblical Hebrew, philologists working on Rabbinic Hebrew and theoretical linguists. The volume is the published outcome of this initiative. It contains peer-reviewed papers in the fields of Biblical and Rabbinic Hebrew that advance the field by the philological investigation of primary sources and the application of cutting-edge linguistic theory. These include contributions by established scholars and by students and early career researchers.
