The Talmud: Selections from the Talmud: being specimens of the contents of that ancient books, its commentaries, teachings, poetry, and legends: also sketches of the men who made and commented upon it: translated from the original (1870s) By H. Polano
 
The Talmud is one of the most important holy books of the Hebrew religion and of the world. No English translation of the book existed until the author presented this work. To this day, very little of the actual text seems available in English -- although we find many interpretive commentaries on what it is supposed to mean. The Talmud has a reputation for being long and difficult to digest, but Polano has taken what he believes to be the best material and put it into extremely readable form. As far as holy books of the world are concerned, it is on par with The Koran, The Bhagavad-Gita and, of course, The Bible, in importance.
