He was author or editor of more than 900 books for students, scholars, and general readers in Judaism, comparative religion, and the history and analysis of rabbinic texts.

From the Back Cover

This translation uses the paragraphing system of the critical text so that ready reference to the Hebrew-Aramaic there can be made. My methodological goal in translating was to render the Hebrew-Aramaic into as literal in English as possible while maintaining linguistic fluency. My translation represents an eclectic text.
