N2 - This study explores the complexities of religious tradition transmission, authority, and identity through an analysis of a second-century rabbinic text, Tosefta Eduyot, and its contextualization within late antique Jewish, Christian, and Manichaean literature. It underscores the shared anxieties over preserving authentic traditions amidst changing historical circumstances, highlighting the methods used to maintain continuity and authenticity. By comparing these traditions with those of Papias, the Pseudo-Clementine Homilies, Ephrem, and Manichaean texts, the paper reveals a broader discourse on the preservation and authority of religious traditions, contributing to our understanding of early Jewish and Christian identity formation.
