The Terminology of Case-Citation in the Babylonian Talmud

The Terminology of Case-Citation in the Babylonian Talmud THE TERMINOLOGY OF CASE-CITATION IN THE BABYLONIAN TALMUD A Study in the Limitations of Form Criticism 1) BY ELIEZER LORNE SEGAL The Hebrew University, Jerusalem Since the era of the Geonim, through the many authors of Intro- ductions and methodological manuals for Talmudic study, a large portion of Talmudic research has been concentrated on questions of terminology.

Abstract

THE TERMINOLOGY OF CASE-CITATION IN THE BABYLONIAN TALMUD A Study in the Limitations of Form Criticism 1) BY ELIEZER LORNE SEGAL The Hebrew University, Jerusalem Since the era of the Geonim, through the many authors of Intro- ductions and methodological manuals for Talmudic study, a large portion of Talmudic research has been concentrated on questions of terminology. By means of a careful examination of the use of the more and less common technical terms, scholars try to enter into the minds of the redactors of the Talmud, to establish the structure of the .rugyah according to its various strata, and even to distinguish between its different constituent sources. In the present study I will discuss one particular type of Talmudic source; namely, the cases that are cited in the Babylonian Talmud. The conclusions of this paper will be based on an examination of all the relevant material found in TB Tractate Neziqin (B.Q., B.M. and B.B.). All examples will be drawn from this tractate. The question of terminology can be viewed in the light of some central methodological problems: It is clear that not all the cases found in TB reached the last redactors through the same channels.
