In his presentation at the Workshop “How Jews Know – Epistemologies of Jewish Knowledge” Markham J. Geller will attempt to show that a lengthy anecdote in the Babylonian Talmud actually addresses a completely different topic than what it purports to discuss, showing how a secular (and controversial) theme, probably originating in another cultural milieu, was domesticated and integrated into a Jewish halachic framework.
