al-Talmud: Tarikhuhu wa-Ta‘alimuhu (The Talmud: Its History and Teachings) is an Arabic treatise that examines the historical development, textual composition, and religious and legal doctrines of the Talmud. Completed in Beirut in August 1971 CE (Jumada al-Akhirah 1391 AH), the work was written to address a deficit of objective studies on Jewish and Zionist matters in Arabic and to provide the foundational understanding of Judaism and its historical literature necessary for analyzing the modern Zionist movement.
