| New Edition of the Babylonian Talmud (all 20 volumes in one file, with active table of Contents) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
From the 1903 and 1918 editions, all 20 volumes. According to the Internet Sacred Text Archive www.sacred-texts.com "The Talmud is a vast collection of Jewish laws and traditions. Despite the dry subject matter the Talmud makes interesting reading because it
is infused with vigorous intellectual debate, humor and deep wisdom. "Rodkinson's Talmud is, by definition, an abridgement for modern readers. He left out only the sections where the debate spins off into complete obscurity, and was careful to document where he did so." In response to customer requests, on 2/24/2008 we added an active/hyperlinked table of contents. If you bought a copy before then, you should be able to download the revised version from Amazon at no additional cost. The product number is the same.

This translation/adaptation of the Babylonian Talmud (the introduction says that duplicate sections were removed, but nothing "of substance") is as lucid as it can be to someone outside the language and culture it circumscribes. However, it would be very well served by a much more comprehensive hyperlinking format. I would want the summary of each mishna connected to the full mishna & gemara in the main chapter, so as to 'flip' back and forth between the explication and the text. Footnotes from the original text leave only their reference numbers in this edition, with no links.
