The Bavli in Comparative Perspective; Notes; Bibliography; General Index; Index to Primary Rabbinic SourcesThis critical study traces the development of the literary forms and conventions of the Babylonian Talmud, or Bavli, analyzing those forms as expressions of emergent rabbinic ideology. The Bavli, which evolved between the third and sixth centuries in Sasanian Iran (Babylonia), is the most comprehensive of all documents produced by rabbinic Jews in late antiquity. It became the authoritative legal source for medieval Judaism, and for some its opinions remain definitive today. Kraemer here examines the characteristic preference for argumentation and process over settled conclusions of the Bavli.Jewish lawInterpretation and constructionJewish lawInterpretation and construction.296.1/2506Kraemer David Charles1473228MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910782304803321The mind of the Talmud3686294UNINA
