The Talmud Is Not a Jewish Thing.

When did people realize that kind of keeping the same edition can have like a unifying factor? I mean, if they'retalking bout the old testament, they want to be able to cite the old testament for christian purposes. And so if you're all using the same page, you can at least cite it. It sort of goes both ways. The the christians love the fact that this was an easy way that you can refer to the talmot as well. But standardized, standardizing, it made it easy.
