No Talmudic passage naming her carries an independent birth or death date, and later medieval legend about her is treated by modern scholars as a later addition rather than earliest-record testimony.What would resolve this A datable document or independent notice naming Bruriah, distinct from the undated Talmudic anecdotes and from the death dates of her father and husband, which fix only the generation she belonged to.OpenTalmudic chronology, history of the Mishnaic and early Tannaitic periodMichael Berenbaum and Fred Skolnik (eds.), Encyclopaedia Judaica, 2nd editionCross-Tradition ConnectionsQuestion OnBruriah, Historical Figures Well-attested Source Encyclopaedia Judaica, 2nd editionMichael Berenbaum and Fred Skolnik (eds.)tier 1SourcesEncyclopaedia Judaica, 2nd editiontier 1Michael Berenbaum and Fred Skolnik (eds.), Macmillan Reference USA, 2007View the SourceComments (0)No comments yet.
