List of Talmudic tractates

The Mishnah consists of six divisions known as Sedarim or Orders. The Babylonian Talmud (Talmud Bavli) has Gemara—rabbinical analysis of and commentary on the Mishnah—on 37 masekhtot (pronounced [/masˈχɛtot/]; Hebrew: מַסֶּכְתּוֹת, lit. 'tractates'; sg. מַסֶּכֶת, masekhet). The Jerusalem Talmud (Talmud Yerushalmi) has Gemara on 39 masekhtot.[1] The Talmud is the central text of Rabbinic Judaism and the primary source of Jewish religious law (Halakha) and Jewish theology.[2]

Structure

Every printed masekhet ('tractate') of the Talmud Bavli begins on page 2 (with the exception of tractates Middot, Tamid and Kinnim), making the actual page count one less than the numbers below.[3]

While the Talmud Bavli has had a standardized page count for over 100 years[as of?] based on the Vilna Edition Shas (i.e., the Vilna edition), the standard page count of the Yerushalmi used in most modern scholarly literature is based on the 1523 Bomberg Talmud, which uses folio (#) and column number ('a', 'b', 'c', and 'd'; e.g., tractate Berakhot 2d would be folio page 2, column 4). A modern alternative page count and numbering system for the Yerushalmi was published by Oz Vehadar in the 2010s,[4] which is used in the table that follows.[5]

Masechtot Shekalim, Middot and Kinnim are printed in the editions of the Babylonian Talmud despite there not being Babylonian Talmud gemara.

In addition to the tractates of the Mishnah and Tosefta, there are also the Minor Tractates (Hebrew: מסכתות קטנות), a collection of short treatises dealing with various ethical and ritual topics not covered in the main Talmudic tractates. For more information, see Minor tractate.
