I am always impressed when scholars can show us the significance of something right in front of us. Kugelmass and Boyarin did not discover a source hidden in an archive. They took a type of book that many have sitting on a bottom shelf of a bookcase in an out-of-the-way corner of their homes and illustrated why it is worthy of our attention. The penetrating volume includes both a fascinating introduction and a wonderful selection of excerpts.
