Clelia Piperno translates Talmud

Clelia Piperno has translated a significant portion of the Babylonian Talmud as part of the Italian Translation Project. Two-thirds of the collection has been completed through this project, which Piperno launched fifteen years ago.

The project aims to make the complex text, written in ancient Hebrew and Aramaic, accessible to a general audience. Piperno, a former constitutional law teacher at the University of Teramo, utilized a software program called Traduco to assist with the translation process. The corpus consists of 63 tractates covering subjects including theology, science, philosophy, agriculture, and medicine.
