What impact did the Persian Zoroastrian Empire, as both a real historical force and an imaginary interlocutor, have on rabbinic identity and authority as expressed in the Talmud? Drawing from the field of comparative religion, Jason Sion Mokhtarian addresses this question by bringing into mutual fruition Talmudic studies and ancient Iranology, two historically distinct disciplines. Whereas most research on the Talmud assumes that the rabbis were an insular group isolated from the cultural horizon outside their academies, this book contextualizes the rabbis and the Talmud within a broader sociocultural orbit by drawing from a wide range of sources from Sasanian Iran, including Middle Persian Zoroastrian literature, archaeological data such as seals and inscriptions, and the Aramaic magical bowl spells. Mokhtarian also includes a detailed examination of the Talmud's dozens of texts that portray three Persian "others": the Persians, the Sasanian kings, and the Zoroastrian priests. This book skillfully engages and demonstrates the rich penetration of Persian imperial society and culture on the Jews of late antique Iran. 606 $aJudaism$xHistory$yTalmudic period, 10-425 606 $aJudaism$xHistory$yMedieval and early modern period, 425-1789 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aJudaism$xHistory 615 0$aJudaism$xHistory 676 $a296.1/2506 700 $aMokhtarian$b Jason Sion$f1978-$01051467 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910460609003321 996 $aRabbis, sorcerers, kings, and priests$92481974 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01245nam 2200337 n 450 001 996390850403316 005 20200824120806.0 035 $a(CKB)4940000000100121 035 $a(EEBO)2240945588 035 $a(UnM)99831566e 035 $a(UnM)99831566 035 $a(EXLCZ)994940000000100121 100 $a19951017d1663 uy | 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurbn||||a|bb| 200 03$aAn answer for Mr. Calamie$b[electronic resource] $eto a poem congratulating his imprisonment in Nevv-gate.
