Marcus Jastrow’s 'Dictionary of the Targumim, the Talmud Babli and Yerushalmi, and the Midrashic Literature' is a classic reference work and the standard dictionary on Talmudic literature. The subjects of this dictionary, writes Jastrow, “are as unlimited as are the interests of the human mind.” Jastrow’s Dictionary contains over 30,000 individual entries, and covers nearly every word in the Talmud. For each entry, Jastrow defines the term, offers examples of use, and provides numerous cross-references. He also includes the etymology for many words, and countless quotations and illustrations from the rabbinic literature.
