Publications 2006-2010


    Recently an old colleague of mine in Israel published a book in  which he cites something I wrote about twenty years ago.  But as it is an unpublished essay--a talk I gave at Ben Gurion University of the Negev--and nothing relevant among my books and articles, I have started to wonder how many other scholars simply do not know what I have written or are misled by the titles.  As I am in my 70s, retired  and have nothing to gain in terms of academic advancement, I will be bold enough to post here from time to time lists of my own work, at least so it is out there in the world, as it were.
