Those interested in Judaism in China would find this volume essential reading. Those with an interest in the more general field of religion and translation would also have much to gain from this volume. Finally, this volume acts as a fitting final publication for a scholar who led the field in life.” —Joseph Chadwin Religious Studies Review Author InformationIrene Eber (1929–2019) was Professor Emerita at Hebrew University’s Louis Freiberg Center for East Asian Studies.
