The book contains information necessary for navigation in the "sea of ​ ​ Talmud." For the first time, famous works on the Talmud and Shulkhan-Arukh were reprinted in modern spelling, published at the end of the 19th century by St. Petersburg orientalist N. Pereferkovich and became a bibliographic rarity. The necessary corrections and notes have been made to the text. In addition, the book includes a glossary of terms, names and realities of the Talmud, helping the reader to plunge into the atmosphere of Jewish Talmudic civilization."
