Two questions were defined that focused the discussion and, consequently, the material presented in this book. The first was to assess references to a Noah writing in the Second Temple period, including segments of existing works that scholars had in the past attributed to a Noah writing. As a corollary of this, the traditions of Noah in other Second Temple period works were studied, first, to gain insight into their character and, second, to see whether distinct enough traditions survived in those, often incidental, references to witness to the existence of a Noachic writing or writings"--Data View Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and indexes Notes Print version record Subject Noah (Biblical figure) -- Legends -- History and criticism Noah (Biblical figure) -- In rabbinical literature.
