medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture According to Shirley Guth in her book, "Arab Women in the Middle Ages", the wailing-women traditions were documented in the Old Testament in connection with the Jews in the provinces of the Persian Empire. Can anyone please point me to the actual passages in the Old Testament? Thank you.
