Questions & Answers for Hendrickson Publishers The Babylonian Talmud: A Translation and Commentary, 22 Volumes
Question
Does this edition of the Babylonian Talmud use "standard" referencing?
For example, if I am reading a scholarly "Jewish" book and reference is made to Sanhedrin 43a, will I be able to pick up the Neusner editions and simply find Sanhedrin 43a? Or does Neusner use a different system of identification?

This version does reference the name of the tractate and puts the folios (subsections) grouped together into separate chapters. It utilizes running page headings showing the tractate, chapter and folio.

Question

I was jsut wondering if there were many significant changes made to the Epstien version or if there is just a change of divisions and updated vocabulary.

Updated Vocabulary, some word are very explict. Neusner stated his version is not designed to replace other verisons of the talmud, but to supplement. If you buy this version. You should also invest in Artscroll's or/and Koren's Talmud and a Jastrow Dictionary.

One of the main differences is that the Epstein edition has the Hebrew & Aramaic on the facing page to the English. The general opinion is that the Epstein translation is not as good as the Neusner. Also, the Neusner is rather easy to follow and you can locate material through the references. The Neusner edition is well laid-out with outline formats (which Epstein did not use). Also, Neusner provides references to changes in language from Aramaic to Hebrew. He also provides many references, such as to the Mishnah, the Torah and other works like the Tosefta. Epstein did not do this in his.
