catalog abstract ""Calendar and Community traces the development of the Jewish calendar from its origins until it reached, in the 10th century C.E., its present form." "It will be useful not only for the interpretation of early Jewish datings, but also as a historical study of early Judaism in its own right. The Jewish calendar evolved in the course of this period from considerable diversity, with a variety of solar and lunar calendars, to unity, with the normative rabbinic calendar. The unification of the calendar was part of the process of unification of Jewish communal identity in later antiquity and the early medieval world."--Jacket.".
