Robert Brody is professor of Talmud at Hebrew University, Jerusalem, and a leading authority on Talmudic and Geonic literature.
"This book offers a superb introduction to the study of the Geonic
period, long-awaited especially in the Anglo-phone world. . . .
Brody’s book . . . provides an important survey of the current
status of scholarship concerning the Geonim. . . . For students
both of rabbinic literature and post-rabbinic Jewish culture this
book will be indispensable."—Charlotte Fonrobert, Hebrew

"This detailed and clearly written book is an invaluable window
onto a period of Jewish history that has remained largely unknown
to all but a handful of specialists. . . . The Geonim of Babylonia
is a valuable and much needed introduction to the literature of the
geonic period. Its readers will come away with an appreciation of
the major works of the period, as well as a solid grasp of the
principal areas of scholarly debate. Brody has an important book
that is both accessible to the non-specialist and informative for
scholars in the field."—Arnold Franklin, International Journal of
