Book Description
Found in this book are selections from the Talmud, the contents of that ancient book, its commentaries, teachings, poetry and legends. Also found are brief sketches of the men who made and commented upon it. The object of the translator was to give the student and general reader a fair idea of the contents of the Talmud.




Talmud

FROM THE PUBLISHER

The Talmud is one of the most important holy books of the Hebrew religion and of the world. No English translation of the book existed until the author presented this work. To this day, very little of the actual text seems available in English -- although we find many interpretive commentaries on what it is supposed to mean. The Talmud has a reputation for being long and difficult to digest, but Polano has taken what he believes to be the best material and put it into extremely readable form. As far as holy books of the world are concerned, it is on par with The Koran, The Bhagavad-Gita and, of course, The Bible, in importance. This clearly written edition will allow many to experience The Talmud who may have otherwise not had the chance.
