It is widely recognized that the creators of the Talmud innovatively interpreted and changed the older traditions on which they drew. Nevertheless, it has been assumed that the ancient rabbis were committed to maintaining continuity with the past. Moulie Vidas argues on the contrary that structural features of the Talmud were designed to produce a discontinuity with tradition, and that this discontinuity was part and parcel of the rabbis' self-conception. Both this self-conception and these structural features were part of a debate within and beyond the Jewish community about the transmission of tradition. Focusing on the Babylonian Talmud, produced in the rabbinic academies of late ancient Mesopotamia, Vidas analyzes key passages to show how the Talmud's creators contrasted their own voice with that of their predecessors. He also examines Zoroastrian, Christian, and mystical Jewish sources to reconstruct the debates and wide-ranging conversations that shaped the Talmud's literary and intellectual character. 606 $aTalmud$xHistory 606 $aJewish law$xInterpretation and construction 610 $aAmoraic tradition. 610 $aBabylonian Talmud. 610 $aBava Qamma. 610 $aChristian literature. 610 $aChristian sources. 610 $aChristianity. 610 $aChristians. 610 $aHekhalot literature. 610 $aHekhalot tradition. 610 $aIsrael. 610 $aJewish culture. 610 $aJewish genealogy. 610 $aJewish history. 610 $aJewish people. 610 $aJewish tradition. 610 $aJews. 610 $aJudaism. 610 $aMesopotamia. 610 $aOral Torah. 610 $aPalestinian Talmud. 610 $aRav Yehuda. 610 $aSar ha-Torah narrative. 610 $aScripture. 610 $aTorah study. 610 $aWritten Torah. 610 $aZoroastrian literature. 610 $aZoroastrian ritual. 610 $aZoroastrian sources. 610 $aanonymous layer. 610 $aapodictic rulings. 610 $aattributed rulings. 610 $aauthority. 610 $acomposition. 610 $adialectic. 610 $adiscontinuity. 610 $agenealogical knowledge. 610 $agenealogical tradition. 610 $aintellectual history. 610 $alayered structure. 610 $aliterary design. 610 $aliturgy. 610 $amystical Jewish sources. 610 $aoral tradition. 610 $arabbinic culture. 610 $arabbis. 610 $arecitation. 610 $areligious text. 610 $asacred texts. 610 $ascholarship. 610 $aself-definition. 610 $aself-presentation. 610 $astam. 610 $asugya. 610 $asugyot. 610 $atanna'im. 610 $atradition. 615 0$aTalmud$xHistory. 615 0$aJewish law$xInterpretation and construction. 676 $a296.1/25066 700 $aVidas$b Moulie$f1983-$01687306 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910825595403321 996 $aTradition and the formation of the Talmud$94060681 997 $aUNINA
