The Anonymous Layer of the Talmud
Question
What is the Rabbi’s view regarding the dating of the anonymous layer of the Talmud? Do you accept the existence of anonymous editors who lived much later than the Amoraim?
Answer
I have no idea. And it also isn’t really interesting to me. That is despite the fact that in the world of academic research this is an issue that could get the different camps to kill each other. See the film “Footnote.”
