Reviews
“.. will examine the Babylonian Talmud’s prostitute, as portrayed by its editors, primarily through the parable. We will search the message conveyed by the Talmud’s redactors that clarify the social status of the prostitute in Rabbinic society as well as the function these women serve for the editor of this book of law and rabbinic discourse.”
