[QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by africurious: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Tukuler: [qb] It's the only one I know of and seemingly written by Palestinians not Babylonians. The "black and beautiful" concept extends from the era of the Song of Songs which is Solomon's up until at least the late medieval times of Europe. The Mishnah clearly delimits colour ranges of Judaeans as midway between that of pale white Germans and dark black Sudanese where it details the laws of leprosy finally deciding all cases to be judged by the intermediate Israelite tone else all Germans be lepers and any Sudani with a light spot/blotch likewise be declared a leper. [/qb][/QUOTE]Tx for your response Takruri. This does seem to be the only instance of shem being labeled black (or dark rather) in jewish sources. There are muslim sources and at least one christian source where shem is described this way. I have done some more research on this and will post my findings later. [/qb][/QUOTE]So, if I'm understanding you properly, there are three instances of this description? Are they simply parroting/influenced by each other, or are they all saying it independent of each other? [/QB][/QUOTE]
