Printed in Germany Cover Design: Christopher Schneider Preface The present volume is the tenth in this series of the Jerusalem Talmud, the fifth in a five volume edition, translation, and Commentary of the Third Order of this Talmud. The principles of the edition regarding text, vocalization, and Commentary have been spelled out in detail in the Introduction to the first volume. The text in this volume is based on the manuscript text of the Yerushalmi edited by J. Sussman for the Academy of the Hebrew Language, Jerusalem 2001. The author has exercised his own independent judgment on what may or may not be corrupt in the text. The text essentially represents an outline, to be fleshed out by a teacher's explanation. The translation should mirror this slant; it should not endow the text with literary qualities which the original does not posses. In particular, the translation is not intended to stand separate from the Commentary. The text contains many passages which are repeated in other Tractates of this Talmud. Occasionally in the Leiden manuscript, and quite frequently in the Genizah texts, the parallel text is not copied but after the first few words is replaced by a notice: "One continues this in Tractate A, Chapter X."1 This proves that parallel passages in the Jerusalem Talmud are copies of one another. In the present edition, parallel passages in most 1 Cf. Chapter 3, Notes 147,162,166,192,259,280; Chapter 4, Note 171. VI PREFACE cases are considered as parallel sources and a full list of variant readings is given in every case. These readings show that in fact parallel passages are to be considered witnesses to the same original text, but it appears that a number of deviations cannot be explained as copyists' errors and that the scribe of the Leiden ms. copied different tractates from different mss. representing different histories of transmission and different stages of adaptation of Palestinian spelling (as represented by most Geniza fragments) to the Babylonian spelling with which the scribes were familiar. The extensive Commentary is not based on emendations; where there is no evidence from manuscripts or early prints to correct evident scribal errors, the proposed correction is given in the Notes. As in the preceding volume, for each paragraph the folio and line numbers of the text in the Krotoschin edition are added. It should be remembered that these numbers may differ from the editio princeps by up to three lines. It seems to be important that a translation of the Yerushalmi be accompanied by the text, to enable the reader to compare the interpretation with other translations. Again I wish to thank my wife, Dr. Eva Guggenheimer, who acted as critic, style editor, proof reader, and expert on the Latin and Greek vocabulary. Her own notes on some possible Latin and Greek etymologies are identified by (E. G.).
