Ein Yaakov
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from En Ya'aḳob)
Ein Yaakov (Hebrew: עין יעקב) is a compilation of all the Aggadic material in the Talmud together with commentaries. Its introduction contains an account of the history of Talmudic censorship and the term Gemara. It was compiled by Yaakov Ibn Chaviv and (after his death) by his son Rabbi Levi Ibn Chaviv.
An English version in 5 volumes appeared in 1921, prepared by Rabbi Shmuel Tzvi - Hirsch Glick of Chicago. It presents the original text on the right column of each page, with the corresponding English version to its left. It doesn't include any of the commentaries that appear in the classic version, but Rabbi Glick's translation and accompanying footnotes suffice for comprehension.
