Trade patterns offer multifarious insights into ideology, politics and social orders between the 4th and 7th centuries A.D. Whilst various models of trade have been formulated for the West Mediterranean, the East is in comparison very poorly understood. This paper examines trade in the East, with special reference to Byzantine Palestine, by considering three key topics: rural production, urban economies, and overseas trade as represented by shipwrecks and pottery. It is argued that more focused research strategies are required to maximise available sources.

AbstractThe article addresses the question whether the late Antique Rabbinic texts disclose an awareness of the categories of folklore and folktale. Initially, the parallel and varied emergence of these categories in various intellectual traditions of modernity and post-modernity is presented with special reference to a new conceptual framework correlating the categories of magic, miracle and sorcery. Subsequently, the narrative traditions recounting the tales of Hanina ben Dosa and especially the chain of tales from the third chapter of the Babylonian Talmud tractate Ta'anit are presented and analyzed referring to earlier scholarship, manuscript variations and the conceptual framework of folk narratives and folklore. By analytically pointing out formal as well as contextual elements, a meta-folkloric awareness of the rabbis is argued.
