Although The Babylonian Talmud, Or Bavli, Has Been A Text Central And Vital To The Jewish Canon Since The Middle Ages, The Context In Which It Was Produced Has Been Poorly Understood. 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 Preislamic 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 Iranotalmudic Research.
