List of Talmudic tractates

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Mishnah consists of six divisions known as Sedarim or Orders. The Babylonian Talmud has Gemara — rabbinical analysis of and commentary on the Mishnah — on thirty-seven masekhtot. The Jerusalem Talmud (Yerushalmi) has Gemara on thirty-nine masekhtot.[1] The Talmud is the central text of Rabbinic Judaism and the primary source of Jewish religious law (halakha) and Jewish theology.[2]

Structure[]

Every printed masekhet (tractate) of Talmud Bavli begins on page 2 (with the exception of Middot, Tamid and Kinnim), making the actual page count one less than the numbers below.[3]

While the Talmud Bavli has a standardized page count based on the Vilna edition, a standardized page count and numbering system does not exist for Yerushalmi, where topics are often referenced by chapter and Mishnah rather than page.[4]
