| Summary: | This study re-examines the nature and origins of the halakhah that is presented in one of the largest collections of amoraic baraitot identified by scholars as representative of pre-talmudic Babylonian halakhah : “ tannei tanna qameh de R. Sheshet/de R. Nahman. ” A systematic analysis of these baraitot in the two talmudim (about 30 traditions) demonstrates that the overwhelming majority of “ tannei tanna qameh ” baraitot reflect a Palestinian halakhic tradition (more than 80%). These findings preclude us from accepting the scholarly opinion that these baraitot reflect a Babylonian halakhic tradition originating in the pre-talmudic period, or even a Babylonian tradition from a later period. This study allows us to reopen the larger question of the existence of pre-talmudic Babylonian halakhic traditions. Ultimately, we will have a greater awareness and appreciation of the influence that tannaitic traditions in the land of Israel had on Babylonian rabbinic study, already in the early talmudic period. |
