Abstract

This article deals with a tripartite structure applied to a Tannaitic source (Eruvin 41b). This structure is designed in the form of a difficulty and a short resolution, bringing one example for each of the three parts of the Tannaitic source. The uniform formative-stylistic phrasing gives the discussion of the Tannaitic source’s three parts a tripartite form. The Tannaitic source utilises a chaining of examples from the first to the second part and from the second to the third part.
