Demonizing the Queen of Sheba: Boundaries of Gender and Culture in Postbiblical Judaism and Medieval Islam - Chicago Studies in the History of Judaism
Jacob Lassner
Shows how Jewish and Muslim writers transformed the biblical Queen of Sheba from a clever, politically astute sovereign to a demonic force threatening gender boundries. Successive retellings of the biblical story reveal anxieties about gender and illuminate cultural transmission.
