Reviews

"This Festschrift doubles as a journal issue, and its high quality is what we have come to expect of that journal, in part thanks to Tamar Alexander. Therefore, the Jubilarian has good reasons to be doubly satisfied." - Fabula 2018, Ephraim Nissan

"At Nineveh there was an  elephant. Its head is not at all protruding. It is big, eats about two wagon loads of straw at once; its mouth is in its breast, and when it wants to eat it protrudes its lips about two cubits, takes up with it the straw, and puts it into its mouth. When the sultan condemns anybody to death, they say to the elephant, this person is guilty. It then seizes him with its lip, casts him aloft, and kills him..."Tsur, Ephraim Nissan, March 2017
