  • Serena Zabin, “Iudae Benemerenti,” Phoenix 50 no. 3-4 (1997) [This study of Jewish funerary inscriptions from the western Empire demonstrates that Jewish cultural practices and ideals about gender differed in part from those of their pagan and Christian neighbors. A study of the epitaphs that give age-at-death as well as those that indicate the dedicator of the stone offers intriguing possibilities about the centrality of Jewish women’s place in their community. Mishnaic beliefs might provide part of the explanation for the unique content of these stones, but the inscriptions in turn give a window onto a world of experience occasionally at odds with that world constructed by the Mishnah. ]
