This chapter examines the methodologies, new approaches, and challenges in the use of rabbinic literature to study the history of Judaism in late antiquity. It provides some examples that demonstrate some of the issues concerning the applicability of rabbinic literature to the study of Judaism in late-Roman Palestine. It concludes that rabbinic literature can serve as a historical source, especially when read indirectly and through the lens of well-defined theoretical frameworks, and when perceived as a rabbinic cultural product that reflects delicate, sophisticated and hardly recoverable relationships between text and reality.

This paper introduces some basic concepts and new approaches regarding the kinematic structure and functional analysis of mechanisms. The theory and approach are illustrated on shaft couplings involving pode joints. Kinematic structure of pode joints is given and some new concepts, such as multiple contacting points and effective and idle degrees-of-freedom, are introduced. A systematic approach which includes a modified graph representation and a modified degree-of-freedom equation is presented. Using this approach the mobility analysis of a class of difficult and complex mechanisms can be treated. Several specific examples are presented to illustrate the basic theory.

This chapter introduces this book’s main issues and questions. How were hagiographic texts used in the discourse of creating or recreating monastic identities? Was there a change in the social function of monasteries, and how did this come about? What was innovative about Jonas’s Vita Columbani, and how did he seek to establish new concepts of sanctity based on the community rather than on the individual holy man? It broaches these questions while framing the principal characters and subjects of the book—the life and works of Jonas of Bobbio, Columbanus, and the Columbanian monastic network—within the wider context of the religious and cultural developments of Late Antiquity. It also provides a historiographical introduction to previous scholarship on Jonas and an overview of Jonas’s three saints’ Lives.
