NO OF PAGES: 323 SUB CAT I: Talmud SUB CAT II: Reference SUB CAT III: DESCRIPTION: "The Talmud: The Steinsaltz Edition" makes Judaism's great compendium of tradition, law, and legend readily accessible for the first time. Accepted as the authoritative basis for all subsequent codifications of Jewish law and practice, the multivolume Babylonian Talmud has been studied constantly by Jewish communities throughout the world since its completion in the sixth century. Yet, for most people, the complexity of the Talmud's Hebrew and Aramaic text is an almost impenetrable barrier to appreciating its riches. Even in translation, the unique system of logic and involved argumentation often baffles the experienced reader. ""The Talmud: The Steinsaltz Edition"" makes it possible for everyone to read the Talmud because it's more than just a translation. Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz becomes your personal instructor, guiding you through the intricate paths of Talmudic logic and thought. His extensive introductions and commentaries make the text crystal clear by providing all the background information needed to follow it, while his illustrated marginal notes supply fascinating insights into daily life in Talmudic times. Despite its apparent complexity, the Talmud has clear and precise rules by which it operates. In this comprehensive ""Reference Guide"", Rabbi Steinsaltz provides the essential guidelines for Talmud study. He also describes the historical background of the Talmudic period and the genius of the sages whose wisdom radiates from every page. The structure of the Talmud, its language, and its inner logic are all carefully explained. Appendixes on Talmudic weights and measures, a key to abbreviations, and a general index complete this invaluable volume. Readers will find that the ""Reference Guide"" is not only indispensable for understanding the Talmud but also a fascinating journey to the very foundations of Jewish culture.NOTES: Donated by Tim Hegg (Purchased at Book Stop select Used Books, Poulsbo, WA) SUBTITLE: A Reference Guide NO OF PAGES: 323 SUB CAT I: Talmud SUB CAT II: Reference SUB CAT III: DESCRIPTION: ""The Talmud: The Steinsaltz Edition"" makes Judaism's great compendium of tradition, law, and legend readily accessible for the first time.
