Description:
"In this book Richard Kalmin offers a thorough reexamination of rabbinic culture in late antique Babylonia. He shows how this culture was shaped in part by Persia on the one hand and by Roman Palestine on the other. Kalmin also offers new interpretations of several rabbinic texts of late antiquity."--BOOK JACKET.
