Manuscripts to be considered for publication should be sent to Dr Glenda Abramson, Oriental Institute, Pusey Lane, Oxford OX1 2LE, United Kingdom. Email: glenda.abramson@stx.ox.ac.uk. They should be submitted in electronic form, either in an e-mail attachment or on a CD. We prefer to receive submissions in Microsoft Word or WordPerfect in a PC format, but can translate from most other common word-processing programs. Please specify which program you have used. Do not save your files as "text only" or "read only". For further details on Electronic Submissions, please visit our Website at:: http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals.
Manuscripts should be double spaced, with ample margins, and bear the title of the contribution. The name(s) of the author(s) should appear only on the cover page, together with the full postal and email addresses of the author who will check proofs and receive correspondence and offprints. All pages should be numbered. Contributions should not normally be more than 8,000-9,000 words in length and should be written in English. They should also include an abstract of 200 words.
Manuscripts which have previously been submitted elsewhere, or which are submitted elsewhere during the reviewing process, will not be considered. Manuscripts previously published in other languages will not be considered.
Book reviews may vary in length from 300 words for a single-title review to 1,500 words for a substantial review essay. Reviewers should follow the guidelines given for papers, except that full bibliographical details for the books reviewed (including price and ISBN) should be given at the beginning of the review.
Rejected manuscripts will not normally be returned.

Tables and captions to illustrations. Tables must be typed out on separate sheets and not included as part of the text. The captions to illustrations should be gathered together and also typed out on a separate sheet. Tables and figures should be numbered by Arabic numerals. The approximate position of tables and figures should be indicated in the manuscript. Captions should include keys to symbols.
Figures. Artwork must be submitted in suitable condition for publication.
Transliterations rather than multinational fonts should be used. Hebrew transliterations should generally be in the style adopted by the Encyclopedia Judaica. Please do not insert hyphens after prefixes, for example ha- le- ve- etc. Before 'aleph use apostrophe; before `ayin use inverted apostrophe. Transliterations of other languages should be according to common usage.
Quotations. Quoted material over forty words in length should be set out from the text by being indented three spaces. The original spelling and punctuation of the quotation should be reproduced exactly. Poetry, diagrams, line drawings, etc., should be reproduced as their original layout.
