SAMELY, A. A., Profiling Jewish Literature in Antiquity. An Inventory, from Second Temple Texts to the Talmuds. Oxford University Press, 2013. 476p. Hardback. Samely avoids idealized genre-forms and totalizing labels. His system is sensitive to texts of mixed form, to changes in form within a text, and potentially through the databases comparative potential to evolution in forms. With the inventory, Samely has created a flexible, robust, powerful analytic tool that enables one to describe a work of ancient Jewish literature with precision and nuance and to illumine it with a rich matrix of comparative data. This is a major advance, comprehensive and sophisticated. No scholar attempting to describe the genre, structure, or literary conventions of ancient Jewish literature(s) can afford to ignore it.

SAMELY, A., Rabbinic Interpretation of Scripture in the Mishnah. Oxford University Press, 2002. 496p. Hardback. The book is a very comprehensive tool ... [it] offers an unprecedented systematic approach to rabbinic hermeneutics. The Introduction to the book is a very fine, beautifully written, methodological essay in which Samely touches upon some of the most important questions and pitfalls in rabbinic studies ... all subsequent discussion of rabbinic hermeneutics will have to account for this major work.

SAMMONS, B., The Art and Rhetoric of the Homeric Catalogue. Oxford University Press, 2010. 248p. Hardback. Sammon's book is a literary study for literary scholars, and as such I would recommend it.

SAMMONS, B., Device and Composition in the Greek Epic Cycle. Oxford University Press, 2017. 272p. Hardback. Martin West once criticised a book on early Greek Epic as 'unimaginative' (CR21 (1971) 69) while containing 'speculations hardly worth writing down'. The adjective could never be used of this book, which indeed, in at least one reader, inspired musings on the very meaning of that word and its place in classical studies.
