Rabbi Meir Triebitz on the Talmud
I have come across a number of interesting lectures and articles by R. Meir Triebitz. The lectures are all available in video or MP3 format. I have only listened to parts of them, but I would recommend them to someone who is interested in getting an introduction to issues in the redaction of the Talmud.
1. A series of lectures on the History and Development of the Talmud-Parts I, II, III, IV. In these lectures R. Triebitz discusses both Iggeret Rav Sherira Gaon and Dorot ha-Rishonim of R. Isaac ha-Levi.
2. An article on “The Emergence of the Mishna and Tosefta.”
For other lectures of his see his website.
