Delving deep into Sasanian material culture and literary remains, Shai Secunda pieces together the dynamic world of late antique Iran, providing an unprecedented and accessible overview of the world that shaped the Bavli.Secunda unites the fields of Talmudic scholarship with Old Iranian studies to enable a fresh look at the heterogeneous religious and ethnic communities of pre-Islamic Iran. He analyzes the intercultural dynamics between the Jews and their Persian Zoroastrian neighbors, exploring the complex processes and modes of discourse through which these groups came into contact and considering the ways in which rabbis and Zoroastrian priests perceived one another. Placing the Bavli and examples of Middle Persian literature side by side, the Zoroastrian traces in the former and the discursive and Talmudic qualities of the latter become evident. The Iranian Talmud introduces a substantial and essential shift in the field, setting the stage for further Irano-Talmudic research. 410 0$aDivinations. 410 0$aUPCC book collections on Project MUSE. 606 $aZoroastrianism 606 $aSassanids$xIntellectual life 607 $aIran$xIntellectual life$yTo 640 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aZoroastrianism. 615 0$aSassanids$xIntellectual life. 676 $a296.1/25067 700 $aSecunda$b Shai$01026615 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463963303321 996 $aThe Iranian Talmud$92441616 997 $aUNINA
