Summary "Post-Biblical Hebrew Literature: An Anthology" by B. Halper is a scholarly compilation of Hebrew literary works created during the post-biblical period, likely written in the early 20th century. This anthology serves as an exploration of the Hebrew language's enduring role as the medium for Jewish literary expression, despite its long absence as a spoken vernacular among many Jewish communities. The collection includes selections from various genres such as poetry, philosophy, ethics, history, and religious texts, reflecting both the continuity and evolution of Hebrew literature over centuries. At the start of the anthology, the author provides a preface that outlines the historical context in which Hebrew literature thrived after the biblical era. Halper discusses the transition of Jewish literary activity from Hebrew to Arabic but emphasizes that Hebrew continued to be used for high-quality literary works. The preface touches upon the significance and artificiality of post-biblical Hebrew literature, describing how later authors worked within the constraints of a language that was no longer their mother tongue. Furthermore, Halper anticipates the anthology’s role in showcasing the rich tapestry of post-biblical Hebrew literature, offering a glimpse into the diverse themes and genres that emerged during this period.
