This article studies Nahshon Gaon’s association with the Jewish calendar. Nahshon ben Zadok Gaon, a ninth-century head of the academy of Sura, is credited with developing a system of calendation known as the Iggul of R. Nahshon, which is considered the Gaon’s most reliably attributable work. Based on a corpus of more than 200 medieval and early-modern sources, this article questions the historicity of this attribution. It identifies six different calendar schemes ascribed in the sources to Nahshon Gaon under the title Iggul and demonstrates that such attributions are pseudoepigraphic and predominantly Ashkenazi. Nahshon Gaon’s name first appears in late 12th-century Ashkenazi calendar sources, linked to a reiterative calendar for 247 years. Other schemes copied under the title Iggul are later, and their attribution to Nahshon Gaon reflects the fact that the Gaon came to be perceived as a calendar authority.
这篇文章研究了Nahshon Gaon与犹太历法的关系。Nahshon ben Zadok Gaon是公元9世纪苏拉学院的院长,他被认为开发了一套名为R. Nahshon Iggul的日历系统,这被认为是Gaon最可靠的工作。基于200多个中世纪和早期现代资料的语料库,本文质疑这种归属的历史性。它确定了六种不同的日历方案,在标题为Iggul的来源下归于Nahshon Gaon,并证明这些归属是伪铭文,主要是德系犹太人。Nahshon Gaon的名字首次出现在12世纪晚期的德系犹太历中,与247年的重复历法有关。其他以Iggul的名义复制的方案是后来的事,它们被归为Nahshon Gaon,反映了Gaon被认为是一个日历权威的事实。

This paper investigates the compilatory processes that led to the creation of the Talmud Yerushalmi and the Apophthegmata Patrum in early Byzantine Palestine. These encyclopaedic works are based on individual oral traditions that emerged from teacher-disciple networks of rabbis and monks. A comparison of the scholastic settings, editorial processes, and structural arrangements reveals interesting similarities and differences. It highlights the complexity of the Talmud’s organizing principles that did not allow for later accretions in the same way that the Apophthegmata collections did. The development from oral transmission to written compilations had significant consequences. For the first time, multiple individual traditions that were diverse and contradictory were visible together on one and the same page. The reader of the written compilations is offered a synoptic overview of the accumulated anchorite and rabbinic knowledge of one and a half centuries. The early Byzantine compilers commemorated and (re)create the “classical” rabbinic and monastic movements for their own time and place.
