This book traces the development of the literary forms and conventions of the Babylonian Talmud, or Bavli. The Bavli, which evolved between the third and sixth centuries in Sasanian Iran (Babylonia), is one of the most comprehensive of all documents produced by rabbinic Jews in late antiquity. It became the authoritative legal force for medieval Judaism and for some its opinions remain definitive today.

this thoroughly revised version of his 1984 dissertation is ambitious in its scope, goals, and methods...Kraemer has provided a stimulating basis for further work...Kraemer has provided us with a stimulating and articulate view of one of the strands that makes up the tapestry that is the Babylonian Talmud...the attempt is praiseworthy, and the result still has much to recommend itself. No future work on these problems can ignore this study.
