Preface
The present volume is the sixth in this series on the Jerusalem Talmud, the
first 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
recently published manuscript text of the Yerushalmi by the Academy of
the Hebrew Language, Jerusalem 2001.
The extensive Commentary is not based on emendations; where
there is no evidence from manuscripts or early prints to correct evident
scribal errors, the correction is given in the Notes. One objective of the
Commentary is a study of the relation of the Babli to the Yerushalmi; this
is discussed in more detail in the Introduction.
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.).
