Focusing on the unique hereditary nature of the Patriarchate, this book explores the governance of Jews in late antiquity through a dynastic lens. Alan Appelbaum utilizes a diverse array of sources, including Roman law, to trace the origins and roles of the Patriarchs, analyzing their familial ties and succession patterns. The study challenges long-held beliefs about their ancestry and the existence of multiple Patriarchs named Judah Nesiah, while situating the Patriarchate within the broader context of contemporary dynasties.
