Abstract

In this paper I study the Aramaic sayings attributed to Hillel in tractate Abot. Their language, their textual transmission, and above all the fact that they left nearly no imprint in rabbinic literature, suggest that they were originally popular proverbs that only later were charged with a religious meaning and attributed to Hillel. They certainly do not belong to the older layers of the tractate.
