- Abstract:
- The study of the Sasanian Empire has gradually been incorporated into Late Antique Studies. The inclusion of a territory that was originally marginal to this area of scholarship is by most accounts a positive development, though it is one that should be carefully considered. One means of evaluating the significance of this development is by comparing the scholarly expansion of Late Antique Studies with the field of Rabbinics, in which the position of the Babylonian Talmud vis-à-vis its Sasanian context has recently been reassessed.
