Title: Manieres de penser dans l'Antiquite mediterraneenne et orientale: Melanges offerts a Francis Schmidt par ses eleves, ses collegues et ses amis (Supplement to the Journal for the Study of Judaism 134)
Description: Leiden, Brill, 2009. viii, 294 pp. Fine copy. Hardcover with dustjacket. Francis Schmidt's works in various fields of religious studies (mainly ancient Judaism), can be characterized by three words: historiography, anthropological history, and comparatism. In that respect he placed himself in the continuation of previous French scholars, such as Maurice Halbwachs or Pierre Vidal-Naquet. Francis Schmidt also played an essential role in transmitting to a new generation of scholars the complex issues and debates concerning the Dead Sea scrolls and Qumranic research. The papers offered in this volume share all the same interest in ancient religions and the methodological devices previously mentioned. They offer a rare example of a large comparatism between Assyrian, Greek, Roman, Jewish, and Christian approaches of some essential social or intellectual issues, by some of the most competent specialists in each field.
