The tractate Keritot of the Babylonian Talmud belongs to the Order of Qodashim in the Mishnah. It discusses the Temple and its rituals, especially sacrifices, but deals mostly with laws of incest, sexual transgressions, childbirth, and miscarriages. In this commentary, Federico Dal Bo provides a historical, philological and philosophical investigation on these gender issues. He discusses almost the entire tractate, referring to many other sources, Jewish (the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Sifra, and other rabbinic texts) as well as non-Jewish (Akkadian, Hittite, and Ugaritic). The author also provides accurate philological observations both on the Mishnah and the Gemara. Finally, he addresses gender issues by combining a reductionistic approach to Talmudic study (the so called "Brisker method") with philosophical deconstruction. Dal Bo shows that in nearly the entire tractate Keritot the rabbis discuss human sexuality in a tendentious and restrictive way, claiming that heterosexuality is the only proper sexual contact and progressively stigmatizing any other kind of sexual behavior.

Gr.-8°, Ln. m. SU. IX, 487 S. Vord. Schutzumschlag m. schwachen Farbspuren, sonst tadelloses Ex. // Das Traktat Keritot des babylonischen Talmud gehört zur Ordnung Qodashim in der Mischna. Es behandelt den Tempel und seine Rituale, vor allem Opfergaben, aber hauptsächlich befasst es sich mit den Gesetzen zu Inzest, zu sexuellen Verstößen, Geburt und Fehlgeburten. Federico Dal Bo liefert mit diesem Kommentar eine historische, philologische und philosophische Untersuchung zu diesen geschlechtsspezifischen Themen. Er analysiert fast das ganze Traktat und bezieht sich dabei auf viele andere Quellen, sowohl jüdische (die Schriftrollen vom Toten Meer, Sifra und andere rabbinische Texte), als auch nicht-jüdische (akkadische, hethitische und ugaritische). Der Autor liefert zudem exakte philologische Betrachtungen zu Mischna und Gemara. Zuletzt befasst er sich mit geschlechtsspezifischen Thematiken, indem er den reduktionistischen Ansatz der Talmudstudien (die so genannte »Brisker Methode«) mit philosophischer Dekonstruktion kombiniert. Dal Bo zeigt, dass die Rabbis beinahe im gesamten Traktat Keritot die menschliche Sexualität auf tendenziöse und restriktive Art und Weise beschreiben und behaupten, dass Heterosexualität der einzig legitime sexuelle Kontakt sei, wodurch jegliche andere sexuelle Neigung stigmatisiert wird.
