This exceptional work, with entries from Rav Abba to Rav Zutra, is
an unprecedented study of every rabbi in the Talmud. The reader
will find concise entries on every rabbinic personality mentioned
in the Talmud, major and minor alike, and will discover such facts
as their dates of birth, education, and occupation. Most entries
are accompanied by a brief story about the rabbinic personality
with sources cited for easy reference. Who's Who in the Talmud also
includes a lengthy introduction to the Talmud in general and offers
a lucid understanding of the timeless importance of aggadic
(homiletic) literature. The reader will acquire valuable insight
into the issues involved in reading talmudic stories as the author
differentiates between truth and parable, law and lore. The author
also chronicles the history and development of the Oral Law noting
the variety of changes it underwent in its transmission from
generation to generation and leaving no doubt as to the wisdom and
the ways of our sages from centuries ago.
