The Exilarchs, professed scions of the biblical Davidic royal line,
were leaders of the Jews of Babylonia in antiquity. They were said
to be powerful political figures and to lead a decadent lifestyle.
Their princely trappings and high-handed manner were legend. They
were reported to be completely assimilated into Persian culture.
Geoffrey Herman examines the evidence, culled mainly from the
Talmudic and Geonic literature, subjecting the institution of the
Exilarchate to literary-historical and source-critical analysis. In
addition, Herman innovatively utilizes comparative sources from the
fields of Iranian studies and Persian Christianity to find the
truth underlying the accounts of the historical Exilarchs.
