{"product_id":"angels-demons-ghosts-and-monsters-wojciech-kosior-9783506705518","title":"Angels, Demons, Ghosts, and Monsters: A Digital Exploration of the Babylonian Talmud","description":"This volume introduces Elyonim veTachtonim, a novel system for the quantitative and qualitative analysis of supernatural entities. Combining close reading, cognitive theory of religion, and digital humanities, it uncovers underlying patterns in their depiction in the Babylonian Talmud. The study shows that sages portrayed themselves as angels guided by the ghosts of past generations; demons embodied social and moral disruptors; and monsters remained at the narrative margins as remnants of biblical lore. Although focused on the Talmud, the book offers a flexible analytical framework applicable to other texts and media.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Wojciech Kosior\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3506705512\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783506705518\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill Schoningh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/31\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 326\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Wojciech Kosior","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48997611471103,"sku":"9783506705518","price":129.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/angels-demons-ghosts-and-monsters-wojciech-kosior-9783506705518","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
