This study of Rabbi Eleazar ben Azariah is a product of the Nuesner school of Talmudic analyses. As such it is very conservative in drawing conclusions about a Rabbi who was a contemporary of the more known Rabbi Akiba. The writing style is somewhat difficult to follow on Kindle. In essence, it gathers all Talmudic references to Rabbi Eleazer and then analyzes them to see which if any can be definitedly attributed to him and, with respect to those, what, if anything can be said of Rabbi Eleazer as a historic figure. I happen to enjoy that method of analysis so I found the book worthwhile as it puts some depth on a Rabbi who heretofore I had only known as the one who became head of the Academy when the members revolted against Rabbi Gamaliel and who was then deposed after the dispute was mollified. All in all a very scholarly work.
