| Summary: | In her book Laughter in Ancient Rome (2015), Mary Beard discusses, among other things, the dangers of laughter and mockery in ancient Rome. In Rome, it was literally possible to die laughing. A thorough study of the semantic field of laughter in classical rabbinic literature has revealed a trend specific to the Babylonian Talmud : the dangerous aspect of laughter and its link to death. In this paper, we shall analyse 22 Talmudic texts representative of this Babylonian specificity. A comparison with Roman texts shows both similarities and differences between rabbinic thought and the Hellenized context surrounding it. |
