Part 1, ``Intertextuality,'' investigates the multi-directional relationships among and between rabbinic texts and nonrabbinic Jewish sources. Part 2, ``East and West'' explores the impact on rabbinic texts of the cultures of the Hellenistic, Roman, and Christian West and the Sasanian East. Part 3, ``Halakha and Aggada,'' interrogates the relationship of law and narrative in rabbinic sources. This bold volume uncovers alliances and ruptures -- textual, cultural, and generic -- obscured by document-based approaches to rabbinic literature", note="edited by Christine Hayes", note="This volume abandons the document-based approach of standard introductions and investigates aggregates of classical rabbinic texts through three broad perspectives -- intertextuality, east and west, halakhah and aggadah -- generating fresh insights that will reset the scholarly agenda", note="Includes bibliographical references and index", isbn="9789004515697", doi="10.1163/9789004515697", url="https://brill.com/view/title/62292", url="https://doi.org/10.1163/9789004515697", language="English" }
