This book compiles all known Jewish inscriptions from Egypt spanning the third century BC to the sixth century AD. The inscriptions are drawn from the Cambridge Divinity Faculty Jewish Inscriptions Project database, with each entry offering the original text, a translation, relevant bibliography, and scholarly commentary. The work aims to incorporate inscriptions missed by earlier collections, consolidate essential information, and provide comprehensive indexing. It also includes photographs of many inscriptions, offering a direct window into Jewish history and religion during the Graeco-Roman period.

This scholarly compilation is recognized as a foundational resource for the study of ancient Judaism in Egypt. Its comprehensive nature, detailed annotations, and inclusion of previously uncollected material make it invaluable for researchers. The inclusion of photographic evidence further enhances its utility, providing direct visual access to primary source material. The work is essential for understanding the historical and religious landscape of Jewish communities in Graeco-Roman Egypt.
