Exploring Talmudic healing therapies, this groundbreaking study delves into the intersection of rabbinic knowledge and late antiquity's cultural dynamics. It highlights the Babylonian rabbis' active engagement in knowledge exchange across diverse ethnicities. The integration of textual analysis with material culture, particularly Aramaic bowls, challenges existing assumptions and enriches the understanding of ancient medical practices. This work is essential for scholars interested in the scientific aspects of rabbinic literature and the historical context of medicine.
