Annotation Eight essays address the relation of any specific beginningof a text, a book, an argument, a narrativeto the originary moment of Jewish textual tradition. The two fundamental approaches are attending to the quotidian and obvious notion that any textual work claims a beginning, and the connection between rhetorical and cultural moves. No credentials are noted for the contributors. There is no index. Distributed in the US by Stylus. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).
