Parting from the traditional Talmudic exegesis which explores details of word or phrase in order to locate sources of information, fact, opinion, or authoritative fact, this text explores the Talmud of the Land of Israel (ca. 400 C.E.) in an effort to find its essential purposes and structural cogencies. Arguing that the work's formal structures are governed by principles of order and rationality throughout, the author visually represents the text in his own system of bold, parenthesized, and italicized print.
