Printed in Germany Cover Design: Christopher Schneider Printing and Binding: Hubert & Co., Gottingen Preface The present volume is the third in a projected series of five volumes covering the entire first order of the Jerusalem 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 is based on the editio princeps and, where that text is manifestly corrupt, on manuscript readings. There are no emendations. For ease of study, the text in the present edition has been subdivided into paragraphs and vocalized following the rules of Sephardic rabbinic Hebrew. In contrast to the Babylonian Talmud whose language is Aramaic with Hebrew quotes, the Jerusalem Talmud is composed in Aramaized Hebrew with Aramaic inserts. The extensive commentary is not based on emendations. Biographical notes have been attached to the names of those personalities not already mentioned in the previous volumes. 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.).
