Derekh Eretz Rabbah (Hebrew: דרך ארץ רבה; abbreviated DER) is one of the minor tractates (מסכתות קטנות) of the Talmud. In the editions of the latter the tractate Derekh Eretz consists of three divisions:
Derek Eretz Rabbah ("Large Derekh Eretz")
Derek Eretz Zuta ("Small Derekh Eretz")
Perek ha-Shalom ("Section on Peace")
This division is correct in that there are really three different works, but the designations "Rabbah" and "Zuta" are misleading, since the divisions so designated are not longer and shorter divisions of one work, but are, in spite of their relationship, independent of each other. The ancient authorities, who have different names for this treatise, know nothing of the division into "Rabbah" and "Zuta"; the Halakot Gedolot[1] even includes a large part of the Derek Eretz Zuta under the title "Rabbah."
