The Talmud: The Steinsaltz Edition

The Steinsaltz Edition Talmud originally began as a Hebrew edition of the Babylonian Talmud by Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz, with his literal Hebrew translation of the Talmud along with his elucidation and commentary. The Hebrew translation started in 1965 and was completed in late 2010. The Hebrew edition contains the standard text of the Talmud with vowels and punctuation in the middle of the page.[1] The margins contain the standard Rashi and tosafot commentaries, as well as Steinsaltz's own translation of the Talmud text into modern Hebrew with his elucidation.[2] Steinsaltz has also recently published an electronic version of the Hebrew edition on DVD.[3]

Between 1989 and 1999 Random House published a small number of volumes in English,[4] and a new printing by Koren Publishers Jerusalem began to re-release volumes in 2012, including an edition with full-color illustrations.
