The Steinsaltz Talmud is an edition of the Babylonian Talmud edited by Rabbi Adin Even Israel (Steinsaltz). The Talmud in this release is punctuated and divided into paragraphs. And in addition to the classical commentaries (Rashi and Tosafos) contains the translation of the Talmud from Aramaic to Hebrew plus introductions, explanations, summaries, biographies of the sages of the Talmud, charts, images, and more. All these make it easier for the modern learner to approach the Talmud.
The Talmud is published by "The Israel Institute for Talmudic Publications" that Rabbi Steinsaltz established in 1965. Publishing was done gradually, one volume at a time, and ended in 2010. 44 volumes have been published, containing all the tractates of the Babylonian Talmud, and Tractate Peah of the Jerusalem Talmud.
The pages of the Steinsaltz Edition are based on the conventional division of the Talmud, but because of the extra place needed for punctuation and the commentaries each page had to be split into two. In addition, the commentaries are printed in the standard font, not in the Rashi script. The Talmud is printed in two sizes, the contents of which are identical, differing only in the size of the fonts. A computerized version of the Steinsaltz Talmud was published in 2004 on a series of CDs (PDF format). In addition the Steinsaltz - Vilna edition was published, which has a two page spread with the Vilna Shas (the usual form, with no punctuation) on one side and next to it the translation and commentary etc. of Rabbi Steinsaltz.
The Tractate Berochos of the Steinsalz Talmud was included in early 2008, as a representative of the Babylonian Talmud, in the series "People of the Book" published by Yediot Aharonot. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.44.142.161 (talk) 23:27, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

Proposed Deletion
I propose deleting the sentence "Jacob Neusner's How Adin Steinsaltz Misrepresents the Talmud. Four False Propositions from his "Reference Guide" (1998) displays strong disagreement.[citation needed]" This is because it's a criticism of the reference guide as opposed to the set of volumes which translate the Talmud proper. Alternatively, this sentence not be given prominent mention (very first paragraph) in the criticism section, since criticism of the Reference Guide is presumably not criticism of the actual Talmud volumes proper. In any event, without any reference to a specific page number or some quotations from the book it's difficult to ascertain the nature whatever criticism was leveled.

- I've moved the sentence a paragraph later, but I'm not sure the sentence (which doesn't concern a tractate of the Talmud translation) belongs at all in an article about a Talmud translation. While it doesn't currently appear to be bundled, was this Reference volume ever bundled with the old (and since superseded) edition set of the English Steinsaltz Talmud tractates?
