Your research is fascinating. have you discovered anything that shatters icons? I look forward to reading. I did a study using Rabbis as data points as well with a different objective. Jews in Space and Time

Thanks! I looked quickly through your paper, which is also fascinating. I wonder if you could use non-Jewish literary canons as controls. If you want to discuss further, feel free to email me at michael_satlow@brown.edu. In terms of shattering icons, no, not yet – I’m still trying to figure out exactly how to manipulate and draw wider conclusions from this kind of data, and would welcome advice.
