Description

Explore the complexities of paratextual literature with this scholarly volume from Brill. The book examines the phenomenon of Literature in the Second Degree, a concept often identified in Jewish and Biblical studies as parabiblical or Rewritten Bible. By applying the theories of Gerard Genette, this work provides a deep look into ancient and medieval literature across various cultures. This study investigates how literature realigns authoritative texts to meet the needs of developing cultures and changing cultural memories. It explores how these secondary texts work to reaffirm the authority of base texts through interpretative actualization. This volume is an essential resource for researchers studying the relationship between foundational texts and the cultural evolution of the ancient Near Eastern and Mediterranean worlds.
