Stroumsa publishes the medieval Hebrew version of Ibn Shim‘on's Silencing Epistle Concerning the Resurrection of the Dead alongside the epistle in the original Judeo-Arabic, a fine modern Hebrew translation of the latter, and profuse annotations to both versions. Both text and translation are published for the first time. The translation is highly readable and the author's notes very instructive. The work is a major contribution to our understanding of the intellectual climate and fervor of the Near Eastern Jewish world of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries.
