Talk:Yazdegerd II

Jewish Persecution under Yazdegerd II
, first, my apologies to you, as I did, inadvertently, misplace the reference in the previous edit, but have since corrected it and placed it in its proper place. For your information, Sherira Gaon wrote at invaluable chronology of the Babylonian Jewish leaders, both before, during and after Yazdegerd II. He also names Yazdegeed II by name, and writes of him: "Rabbi Nachman bar Rabbi Huna then ruled [as head of the Babylonian Talmudic Academies], and he died in the year 766 [of the Seleucid era; 455 of our Common Era] in a time of persecution, when Yazdegerd (II) decreed the abolition of the Sabbath day observations." END QUOTE. This important secondary source was written in the 10th-century. The editor of this important work goes on to explain the event and to discuss the Sassanian king under question. This second source which we hope to bring down here, along with your earlier source, will help put everything in context. Please wait, and I'll format it to please you; giving a short citation and the longer reference in the Reference Source. Shalom.Davidbena (talk) 18:09, 22 August 2019 (UTC)


 * No need to apologize, it happens. But quite the interesting source - I changed it a bit further so it looks like the rest of the citations and sources. --HistoryofIran (talk) 19:33, 22 August 2019 (UTC)

About the Iran-Attila War and lack of mention in the article
According to Atilla's own page, he launched an invasion of Armenia in the early 440's. Could anyone expand on the matter from Yazdegerd II's side in the article proper? There appears to be a strange lack of this war in the article, or was it an insignificant raid compared to Attila's invasion of Thrace and Gaul, so it was omitted?

 * Well I for one didn’t even know that was a thing. Perhaps it ought to be insignificant (or didnt happen?) considering not a single source I used mentioned it? I will try to look it up later. HistoryofIran (talk)


 * Thanks. Here is the link extracted from Attila's page. Hopefully it helps. PrehistoricWalker (talk) 14:18, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
