What Made the Rabbanites Rabbinic
The purpose of this essay is to open up a fundamental conversation about the concept of rabbinization, together with the adjective rabbinic, principally as a qualifier of Judaism. I shall follow these terms and concepts through the first millennium CE, from rabbis of the Roman period to early medieval Rabbanites. The title I have chosen refers to the Rabbanites, but the essay covers equally the earlier period, and it could equally have been entit…

Calendar, Jewish
The function of Jewish calendars in antiquity was mainly to determine the dates of biblical and other Jewish festivals; in Judaea/Palestine, they were also used for more general purposes. Jewish calendars were always lunar, except for the short‐lived, schematic calendars of the Dead Sea Scrolls. The lunar calendars were diversely reckoned among Palestinian and Diaspora communities. In Late Antiquity, they gradually turned into fixed schemes.

Calendar, Jewish
“Jewish” calendars are best defined in terms of their common, main function in antiquity, that is, determining the dates of biblical and other Jewish festivals. The use of distinctly Jewish calendars for more general purposes, for example, for dating inscriptions and documents, seems always to have been restricted to the Jews of Judaea/Palestine (Stern 2001: 24–7).
Sects and Sectarianism in Jewish History
Sects and sectarianism are popular themes in Jewish history, but the meaning of these terms is elusive, often raising more problems than solutions. This volume, drawing on the expertise of a wide range of scholars, examines several Jewish groups from Antiquity to the present day that have been traditionally identified as ‘sects’ or as ‘sectarian’, including most famously the Qumran community and the Qaraites. It questions whether ‘sect’ and ‘sect…
