The word Godol means \"great [one]\" in Hebrew, and refers to exceptional Talmudic scholars who are often prominent Roshei Yeshiva (heads of yeshivas). The book, which resulted from about 15 years of extensive research, includes much historical background based on over 800 sources, and is very detailed in its stories and biographies. Some readers find this tedious, while others find that the book offers many valuable insights into the lives of great men. Due to the banning of both editions (see next section), not more than 1,000 sets of each edition are in existence."@en }
