Abstract
This paper considers the role of foodstuffs and their (non-)consumption in 4 Ezra.
While foodstuffs figure prominently in this work, no systematic research has been done
into it. The paper argues that both the narrative progression of the work is expressed
through foodstuffs as well as significant parts of the work’s content.
