Abstract
On the basis of the hypothesis that the academic texts of the sages from classical Judaism (1st-8th centuries CE) form part of a restricted sphere, as opposed to other texts of later compilation, such as the so-called Minor Treatises of the Talmud –oriented more towards a public sphere with a didactic intention–, we will read one of these treatises in order to review the visibility (or invisibility) of women in its contents and arguments. One of these ethical texts, Kallah Rabbati, has been selected for being a treatise that orders daily issues that affect men and women, such as sexual relations in marriage, as well as other ethical considerations on human behaviour. Through the text we will analyse the role that women may have played in the academic sphere, in order to analyze how they are presented in the discourse; their possible role as transmitters or receivers of these didactic texts of classical Judaism.
