In the year 1896 Goldschmidt commenced the publication of the Babylonian Talmud (from the
editio princeps), with German translation, variants, and explanations. By 1903, the sections
Zera'im and
Mo'ed have been published, together with a part of the section
Neziḳin. Both the edition of the text and the translation have been severely criticized by
David Hoffmann in
Brody's
“Zeitschrift für Hebräische Bibliographie” i. 67–71, 100–103, 152–155, 181–185. Goldschmidt replied in a pamphlet,
“Die Recension des Herrn Dr. D. Hoffmann über Meine Talmudausgabe im Lichte der Wahrheit” Charlottenburg, 1896. See also
“Theologische Literaturzeitung” 1896, pp. 477–479, and 1897, pp. 631–633. His translation of the Babylonian Talmud appeared from
Leipzig 1897 to completion in
London 1935. His
“Subject concordance to the Babylonian Talmud” was published post mortem in Copenhagen in 1959. ==References==
