The importance of the monastic movement in the Persian Empire, during the time of the composition and redaction of the Babylonian Talmud, fostered a literary connection between the two religious populations. The shared literary elements in the literatures of these two elite religious communities sheds new light on the surprisingly inclusive nature of the Talmudic corpora and on the non-polemical nature of elite Jewish-Christian literary relations in late antique Persia. 517 3 $aEarly Christian Monastic Literature & the Babylonian Talmud 606 $aMonasticism and religious orders$xHistory$yEarly church, ca. 30-600 606 $aJudaism$xRelations$xChristianity 606 $aChristianity and other religions$xJudaism 615 0$aMonasticism and religious orders$xHistory 615 0$aJudaism$xRelations$xChristianity. 615 0$aChristianity and other religions$xJudaism. 676 $a271 700 $aSiegal$b Michal Bar-Asher$f1979-$01046153 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463977503321 996 $aEarly Christian monastic literature and the Babylonian Talmud$92472871 997 $aUNINA
