collection - specialized in the cultural and literary context of Judaism
Hello brothers. Peace and good.
Please, any indication of a "collection" with books specialized in the cultural and literary context of Judaism, where we can consult expressions such as "has a devil", "glutton and drinker", etc, but with explanations in the rabbinic / Jewish context?

Faithlife has 'subject' collections, one of which is a Jewish collection. If memory serves, the Logos 9 one is on sale at the moment:
I don't know if this is what you're thinking, or maybe something more informal and directed.
I actually keep Eerdman's Dictionary of Early Judaism in my main layout ... it cuts through a lot of unsupported claims. And in my library, I keep about 10-15 collections surrounding jewish writings, culture, and beliefs.
But specific to your examples, my opinion ... you're better off with a search.
Just today, I've been reading Aramaic Incantations (2-vol set), and it turns out the 'Evil Eye' is really just one of many different 'eyes' from which the culture needed protection.
