Kraeling's volume is the official excavation report and scholarly analysis of the Dura-Europos synagogue, published by Yale University Press as part of the joint Yale and French Academy of Inscriptions and Letters excavation series. Its strength is that it is the founding, primary scholarly account of the building and its paintings, written by a member of the excavating institution with direct access to the site and the finds. Its limit is that it is a 1956 report, so later scholarship has refined some of its readings, though its factual record of the excavation itself remains the standard reference.FactsClaims Backed By This Source (34 claims)Comments (0)Reader Challenges (0 open reader challenges)FactsAssessmentReliability TierWell-attested1Published by Yale University Press as Carl H.
