Study of the Talmud is responsible for the development of Jewish intellectuality, according to the Canon of Ely, the Very, Rey, A. L. Williams.

The work in general is chiefly concerned with the question whether the Judaism of the Talmud is identical with that of Palestine in the first century of the Christian era.
