1. A bulla (sing.) is a lump of clay impressed with a personal seal. It was attached to the string that sealed a document. Both private and administrative documents were sealed in this manner. Sometimes several bullae were used to seal a single document.

2. More than half the introduction is taken from Avigad's Hebrew Bullae from the Time of Jeremiah: Remnants of a Burnt Archive (Jerusalem: Israel Exploration Society, 1986).
