in book form rather than as a series of pamphlets or as individual PDFs available online. The order of essays is the one area in which I have a (minor) criticism: the lectures are printed in the volume in the order they were delivered from 2000 to 2009, and thus, however much individual essays were revised prior to publication in 2012, the work reads sometimes as miscellany. A rearrangement by topic or chronology would have made things a bit easier on the reader of the volume as a whole: for example, Hamburg’s essay follows Cohen (as 2006 followed 2005) but more background on the Washington Haggadah is found in Hamburg and thus her essay would profitably be read first by someone with little knowledge of this manuscript. But perhaps it’s not so bad if future readers have to do a little work themselves to understand and assess the “joins” in this excellent volume.
