* THE TALMUD: A Selection (Penguin Classics, 2009). Selected, edited and translated by Norman Solomon. 896 pp. -- ePUB + MOBI


The Talmud is one of the most significant religious texts in the world, second only to the Bible in its importance to Judaism. It is a compilation of the teachings of major Jewish scholars from the classic period of rabbinic Judaism. In a range of styles including commentary, parables, proverbs and anecdotes, it provides guidance on all aspects of everyday life from ownership to commerce to relationships, and is the basis for all codes of Jewish law.

This selection of its most illuminating passages makes accessible to modern readers the centuries of Jewish thought contained within. Norman Solomon's lucid translation from the Bavli (Babylonian) Talmud is accompanied by an introduction on its arrangement, social and historical background, reception, and authors. This edition also includes appendixes of background information, a glossary, time line, maps and indexes.

Thank you to the original uploader!

Thanks for making this available. It's just enough to offer a healthy introduction while not being overwhelmed by the whole thing.
Nicely put, ultramoom. I agree completely with that assessment.
