In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content:Hebrew Studies 31 (1990) 188 Reviews address. If we want to know something about the redaction of the Babylonian Talmud.
We shall have to describe the Babylonian Talmud and its paramount traits of rhetoric and logic and determine whether it is a compilation or a well-crafted composition. Working our way from the outside to the inside. In starting from the smallest whole units of thought. The individual sentences. Kalmin has replicated an error of several generations' standing.
The utterly useless result. Comprising made-up words that only the author and his six best friends use anyhow. Is yet one more cost exacted by the rather aimless and self-referential (not to say self-serving) program of academic isolates in rabbinical seminaries.
This is what emerges when scholars talk entirely to themselves and listen to no one else. The difference between Kalmin's version of 'the redaction of the Babylonian Talmud' and an academic reading of the same problem is the difference between Nintendo baseball and the kind you play on a real baseball diamond.

The various meanings numbered consecutively come next and then a concise etymology. Finally, a listing of derivatives is presented.

The etymological infonnation presented.
Is too scanty for this. There are no quotations showing the forms. Usages of the words. Changes in senses. Nor dates of the usages.
Solely in the case of New Hebrew words is there a specification beyond mere defmition. If the creator of an entry word is known.
