This book discusses the emergence of self-knoweldge in rabbinic literature, highlighting a unique and surprising development in Talmudic jurisprudence, whereby legal decision-making came to incorporate personal and subjective information. The book is intended for scholars of religion and Late Antiquity, but is written in an accessible style to appeal to a broader audience.
