The Ginza Raba is composed of two parts: the Right Ginza (GR) and the Left Ginza (GL). The GR is composed of eighteen tractates and covers a variety of themes and topics, whereas the three tractates that make up the GL are unified in their focus on the fate of the soul after death. The GL is also occasionally referred to as the Book of Adam.[1]
