The Sages of Our Tradition: Interpreters of the Tanakh and Talmud Cyril Mazansky

Implicit in the title of this book, The Sages Of Our Tradition, is the concept of Chachmei HaMesorah, "Sages of the Tradition". These Sages are the Rabbis from the days of the Mishnah through our own generation who interpreted and transmitted the Written and Oral Torah. Dr. Cyril Mazansky has created a comprehensive English-language biography of the more prominent of these great Sages and presents categories and classifications of their works using a straightforward approach to clearly present this wealth of data. This information will provide the general reader and student with a comprehensive reference book, in English, on the great scholars and religious authors of the Biblical and Talmudic interpretive tradition throughout the centuries.
