"The Babylonian Talmud is full of stories of demonic encounters and laws that attempt
to regulate those encounters. In this book, Sara Ronis takes the reader on a journey
across the rabbinic canon, exploring how Late Antique rabbis imagined, feared, and
controlled demons. Ronis contextualizes the Talmud's thought within the rich cultural
matrix of Sasanian Babylonia, putting rabbinic thinking in conversation with Sumerian,
Akkadian, Ugaritic, Syriac Christian, Zoroastrian, and Second Temple Jewish texts
about demons to delve into the interactive communal context in which the rabbis created
boundaries between the human and the supernatural, and between themselves and other
religious communities. Demons in the Details explores the wide range of approaches
that the rabbis took to their neighbors' beliefs and practices, out of which they
created a profoundly Jewish demonology"
