What reading level is The Talmud book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But its popularity is much more due to an extraneous cause. During the persecutions against the Jews in the Persian empire, under Jesdegerd II., Firuz, and Kobad, the schools were closed for about eighty years. The living develop- ment of the law being stopped, the book obtained a supreme authority, such as had probably never been dreamt of by its authors. Need we add that what authority was silently vested in it belonged exclusively to its legal portions ? The other, the "haggadistic" or legen...dary portion, was "poetry," a thing beloved by women and children and by those still and pensive minds which delight in flowers and in the song of wild birds. The " Authorities " themselves often en ousfh set their faces against it, repudiated it and explained it away. But the people clung to it, and in course of time gave to it and it alone the encyclopaedic name of "Midrash." We have now to say a few words respecting the language in which these documents are couched, as furnishing an additional key to the mode of life and thoughts of the period.
