Logic in the Talmud

Logic in the Talmud is a ‘thematic compilation’ by Avi Sion. It collects in one volume essays that he has written on this subject in Judaic Logic (1995) and A Fortiori Logic (2013), in which traces of logic in the Talmud (the Mishna and Gemara) are identified and analyzed. While this book does not constitute an exhaustive study of logic in the Talmud, it is a ground-breaking and extensive study

Jews as a Changing People of the Talmud: An American Exploration

[Excerpt] My project has two parts. The first part demonstrates that Jews were in fact a changing people of the Talmud. Even though I make some references to it, discussion of that large subject awaits further investigation. The second part of the project is to identify and evaluate reputations of Jews as a People of the Talmud. An aspect of that work is the primary concern of this article

Lorenz comparisons of nine rules for the adjudication of conflicting claims.

Consider the following nine rules for adjudicating conflicting claims: the proportional, constrained equal awards, constrained equal losses, Talmud, Piniles’, constrained egalitarian, adjusted proportional, random arrival, and minimal overlap rules. For each pair of rules in this list, we examine whether or not the two rules are Lorenz comparable. We allow the comparison to depend upon whether the amount to divide is larger or smaller than the half-sum of claims. In addition, we provide Lorenz-based characterizations of the constrained equal awards, constrained equal losses, Talmud, Piniles’, constrained egalitarian, and minimal overlap rules.Rules; Claims problem; Bankruptcy; Constrained equal awards rule; Constrained equal losses rule; Talmud rule, Piniles’ rule; Random arrival rule; Minimal overlap rule;

THE TALMUD RULE AND THE SECUREMENT OF AGENTS? AWARDS

This paper provides a new characterization of the Talmud rule by means of a new property, called securement. This property says that any agent holding a feasible claim will get at least one nht of her claim, where n is the number of agents involved. We show that securement together with a weak version of path independence and the standard properties of self-duality and consistency characterize the Talmud rule.bankruptcy problems, Talmud rule, characterization results

Observacions sobre la traducció llatina del Talmud (París, mitjan segle XIII)

Aquest article ha estat elaborat dins el marc del projecte d'investigació «The Latin Talmud and its Influence on Christian-Jewish Polemic», finançat per l'European Research Council de la Unió Europea (FP7/ 2007-2013 / ERC Grant agreement n. 613694 [http://pagines. uab.cat/lattal]); també, al seu torn, és el resultat escrit de la conferència «Lex super os vel in ore: la traducció del Talmud ( תורה שבעל פה ) al llatí durant el segle xiii», presentada per U. Cecini, Ó. de la Cruz i E. Vernet durant l'assemblea anual celebrada per la Societat Catalana d'Estudis Hebraics el dia 2 de juny de 2015 a la seu de l'Institut d'Estudis Catalans.L'objectiu d'aquest article és el d'oferir alguns dels trets característics presents en la traducció llatina del Talmud, anomenada Extractiones de Talmud, que fou elaborada a París pels volts de 1244-1245. Aquestes Extractiones de Talmud són importants pel fet que configuren la primera traducció més o menys extensa del Talmud. Aquesta primera traducció llatina es caracteritza per ser força extensa, però no pas completa, car ofereix una selecció de diferents llocs talmúdics, amb finalitat teològica i pensada per a la refutació del judaisme. Feta una breu presentació del context en què neix aquesta traducció llatina, se'n fa una descripció del text, bo i comentant-ne alguns exemples, per tal de valorar-ne la qualitat
