The Talmud, that monumental composition of Jewish law and lore filling twelve folio volumes, is the evolutionary product of compilation that spans about eight centuries. Replete with observations, ethical maxims, beautiful legends, and exegetical explanations, this remarkable work has exerted a powerful influence on Jewish thought through the ages. 'Introduction to the Talmud,' considered one of the most comprehensive work of its kind in English, is designed to facilitate the study of an exceedingly intricate subject. Here, in scholarly yet readable form, is an historical and literary introduction to the Talmud and an examination of its component parts, * hermeneutics, terminology and methodology. This edition is further enhanced by biographical material on commentators, chronological tables, glossaries and indices which will prove helpful even to those already familiar with the 'sea of the Talmud.'
