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. 606 $aJewish law$xInterpretation and construction 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aJewish law$xInterpretation and construction. 676 $a296.1/2506 700 $aKraemer$b David Charles$0890370 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910453305903321 996 $aThe mind of the Talmud$91988967 997 $aUNINA
