The Talmud of Babylonia: An American Translation – XXVI. Tractate Horayot [Brown Judaic Studies 90]

Jaffee, Martin S. (Translated by). The Talmud of Babylonia: An American Translation – XXVI. Tractate Horayot [Brown Judaic Studies 90]. Atlanta: Scholars Press, 1987. First edition. Quarto. [8], 221, [11]pp. Original red cloth, with silver lettering on spine and front cover. This translation of Tractate Horayot of the Babylonian Talmud (in the edition of Romm) attempts to convey a clear sense of the Talmud’s subject matter even as it preserves, in idiomatic English, those traits of Talmudic style which make that subject matter so notoriously elusive. To this end, the brief commentary appended to each section of translated text explains how the text’s main points emerge from its structure and offers a restatement – in the form of cogent abstractions – of those points (from the author’s Preface). Binding and interior in very good condition. vg. Hardcover. (39114) $40
