In third-century CE Palestine, the leading members of the rabbinic movement put together a treatise entitled Tractate Avot. With an effort to situate Avot within the socio-political and intellectual context of the Graeco-Roman Near East, this book probes comparable Jewish, Greek, Roman and Christian sources.
