For Out of Babylonia Shall Come Torah and the Word of the Lord from Nehar Peqod - The Quest for Babylonian Tannaitic Traditions

For Out of Babylonia Shall Come Torah and the Word of the Lord from Nehar Peqod reevaluates the evidence of an independent "Babylonian Mishnah" which originated in the proto-talmudic period. The research focuses on an analysis of "Babylonian baraitot" that have been identified by scholars as originating in the Tannaitic or the amoraic periods.
