By examining a number of talmudic passages, and subjecting them to close analysis, this book arrives at important conclusions, and shows, for example, that the Talmud is an academic, rather than a practical work.Jacobs, Louis is the author of 'Structure and Form in the Babylonian Talmud', published 2008 under ISBN 9780521050319 and ISBN 0521050316.
