Historical-Religious pattern of Hebrew-Persian Texts As a Branch of Folk Literature

Hebrew-Persian or Judeo-Persian literature is one of the unknown literary in Iran. Although the Judeo-Persian literature on the subject is religious, But overall is in the field of folk literature. It seems that the model of the Jewish Bible, the Talmud and the Midrash is one of the reasons of this classification. According to the pattern, we could complete and compile historical and religious official narratives by Folk literature and oral sources. In this way, the folk beliefs as well as official beliefs in aforementioned sources interact with each other and therefore it forms a pattern consisting official and vulgar statements. For this reason, important oral tradition and folklore in Hebrew religious resources are important and have the value to be cited. In this study, we focus on the formation of the above pattern; because the same one is imitated in the new Hebrew-Persian sources. In these texts, official narratives are combined with Iranian or Non-Iranian folk narratives too. So, neglecting this voluminous part of Persian folk literature any other study in this realm will be incomplete.
