"...the volume is handsomely printed and—as befits the subject matter—lavishly illustrated. Typos, while present, are kept to a minimum. Owing to the broad range of essays in the Gitin Festschrift, this is not a volume that most would sit down and read from cover to cover. However, it does encompass a large selection of important and original studies in a wide range of fields and will be consulted frequently by those whose research interests touch upon the one or the other subject within the book. Overall, this is a most fitting tribute to a colleague whose path-breaking scholarship and administrative skills have influenced and impacted upon so many."—Carl S. Ehrlich, York University in Review of Biblical Literature, April 2011
