Fourth Ezra and Second Baruch

The two Jewish works that are the subject of this volume, '4 Ezra' and '2 Baruch', were written around the turn of the first century CE in the aftermath of the Roman destruction of the Second Temple. Both texts are apocalypses, and both occupy an important place in early Jewish literature and thought: they were composed right after the Second Temple period, as Rabbinic Judaism and early Christianity began to emerge. The twenty essays in this volume were first presented and discussed at the Sixth Enoch Seminar at the Villa Cagnola at Gazzada, near Milan, Italy, on June 26-30, 2011. Together they reflect the lively debate about '4 Ezra' and '2 Baruch' among the most distinguished specialists in the field.00.
