Detail Description
Erudite work on Talmudic aggadah by the renowned Italian scholar David Castelli. Legende Talmudiche has a subtitle Saggio di Traduzione dal Testo Originale, informing that it is translated from the original text, and that the work has a critical original prefix by Castelli. The prefix is actually a detailed eleven chapter work, followed by thirty-nine chapters of, on the actual text, and then eight additional parts, so that there are nine detailed parts dealing with the aggadic text. This is a pristine copy, several of the contents pages having never been separated.
