The Iranian Talmud

Shai Secunda, one of the scholars behind the Talmud Blog, has a book that is being released, The Iranian Talmud: Reading the Bavli in Its Sasanian Context (in the series Divinations: Rereading Late Ancient Religion, from University of Pennsylvania Press).

As someone interested in Judaism, Eastern Christianity, Jewish-Christian interaction, and the Mandaeans, this is a book in which a lot of my interests can be expected to converge!
