Hymen Polano's 'Talmud' - Hoopoe - 02-25-2025
Hello, I've been reading about the Talmud and this book pops up repeatedly online with hardly any description. I don't think it has anything to do with the Talmud but what is it? I've read that it's a collection of unrelated Rabbinical stories but I don't know on what authority that rests.
Thanks.

Just read the book and decide for yourself.
It is available online here.

it looks like it is a collection of stories from different sources, organized into thematic sections. I saw a section which had stories from medrash, I saw Ethics of the Fathers there, and stories from the talmud.

Thanks, that gives me some bearing. It's very interesting, whatever it is.
