The Metallurgical Gemara is the first in-depth exploration of evidence of the use of metals and related technologies within the classic Jewish literary sources. Levene's expertise in Semitic languages and Jewish studies and Rothenberg's unique understanding and knowledge of the history of metallurgy combine to produce this unique interdisciplinary research. Their work brings to light the extent to which metalwork was part of the lives of the Israelites of antiquity and the Jews of the late antique and medieval worlds. The wealth of technical terms that are elucidated here bring to light some of the earliest evidence for complex metallurgical processes that include aspects of steel production, evidence for the manufacture of a variety of copper alloys, the use of tinning techniques and more. But this book is more than just an analysis of technical aspects, it traces the place of the metallurgical motif in these people's lives and folklore and explores the ancient concepts regarding the nature of matter as expressed through the prism of their religious world view.
