A Short Survey of the Literature of Rabbinical and Mediæval Judaism

Originally published in 1920, A Short Survey of the Literature of Rabbinical and Mediæval Judaism offers a foundational overview of post-biblical Jewish writings from the close of the Biblical canon through the Middle Ages. Authored by noted scholars V. O. E. Oesterley and G. H. Box, the work explores the historical development, themes, and significance of key Jewish texts including the Mishnah, Talmud, Midrashim, and philosophical writings of the mediæval period.

This scholarly yet accessible volume was intended for students of theology and comparative religion, providing critical insight into the intellectual and spiritual currents that shaped Rabbinical and mediæval Jewish thought. Its enduring value lies in its clear exposition, careful scholarship, and the authors' aim to foster greater understanding between Jewish and Christian traditions.
